Defect
The screws securing the accelerator pedal backing plate have insufficient clamping strength, and the cooler cut switch is improperly positioned. When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed during rapid acceleration, the backing plate contacts the cooler cut switch with significant force, causing the backing plate to slip and catch on the floor mat. This interferes with pedal return and, in the worst case, may prevent engine speed from decreasing.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the accelerator pedal and the cooler cut switch bracket with corrected parts.
