    Accelerator pedal (gas pedal) "sticks" when starting the car in the morning or after periods when the car is not used. Excessive amount of foot force needs to applied which results in high rpm (and quick jerk from stop if car is in drive) after pedal depresses. Dealer has been contacted, they offered no assistance and did not refer us to any other source for warranty help. *ak
