    I just got went out to lunch, accelerated out of the parking lot at approx 3/4 throttle, and it stuck open. Tapped the pedal several times and it released. any one else ever have this problem? I called the local dealer, and they haven't heard of any complaints with the tacos.

    I think a mouse was under your hood and was sitting on the throttle. When you tapped the pedal, it scared him and he ran off.
