Has anyone had the problem of the gas pedal sticking? When I start off or I am driving there seems to be, what seems like, something stoping me from pushing the ppedal in. When I put more pressure on the gas and it "breaks free" it will go faster. Not exactly smooth driving. Has anyone had simi..

With the engine running, when you're at a stop light the pedal gets "sticky" and requires a relatively hard push to get moving again. Feels like you have to overcome..
