Your gas pedal must have been loose/mismounted from the factory. This is the safety recall procedure:
SERVICE PROCEDURE
If equipped, position the driver side floor mat aside.
Position the driver seat as far back as possible.
Remove the accelerator pedal-to-floor retaining nuts and pull the pedal assembly off the studs.
NOTE: Due to the design of the shield and variances in the thickness of the carpet and padding, it may be necessary to push down on the shield/accelerator pedal assembly to allow for nut installation. Be sure the nuts are fully run down before final tightening.
NOTE: Be sure the carpet is tucked under the pedal shield once the shield is installed.
Place the pedal shield onto the studs, then reinstall the accelerator pedal assembly and the nuts. Tighten the nuts to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft). See Figure 2.
Reposition the floor mat, if equipped.
Open the hood.
CAUTION: The engine must be off when checking for wide open throttle.
With the help of an assistant, verify the accelerator pedal goes to wide open throttle.
With your hand, press the accelerator pedal towards the floor to the full extent of its travel.
Visually inspect that the lever on the throttle body cam hits the stop on the throttle body.
If the pedal contacts the shield prior to the cam hitting the throttle body stop (wide open throttle not achieved), contact the Special Service Support Center for further instructions.
Close the hood.
