ACCELERATOR WAS STICKING IN THE UP POSITION. TOOK GREAT FORCE TO FREE IT FROM THE UP POSITION TO GIVE THE VEHICLE GAS. AS THIS VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IT WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. DEALER SAID THEY KNEW OF OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. *JB
