I was making a turn while pushing on the gas pedal lightly, and all of sudden the gas pedal went to the floor without pressing on it and the pedal got stuck. The engine raced up to over 5000 rpm and about 60 mph around a turn because it would not slow down. I had too keep tapping on the gas pedal to release it. Also my foot was on the break.
