When my xB is cold the gas pedal gets stuck if you floor it a little. I almost hit any old midget lady. Has this happen to anybody?

okay one question do you have different floor mats such as big rubber or plastic ones. if so i might have gotten stuck on that floor mat.

With my diamond plate floormats, if i don't have them in the exact right place, my gas pedal will stick.

if their aftermarket floor mats and their sittin on the gas pedal. THROW OUT THE MATS. or trim them. if the pedal hangs up when cold take it ti the dealer ASAP. thats a safety conrern that shouldnt be ignored. Have the car towed to the dealer. this is covered under your warranty!
