Gas pedal sticks when starting out from a stopped position. This happens sporadically but more often happens after coming to a quick stop at a red light. The gas pedal sticks for about a second or two and after applying more pressure it finally engages and starts to accelerate. Note that i have not had the issue where the gas pedal sticks in the depressed position. *tr
