Both on the left side had to be towed is horribly scary on another incident about three weeks prior. The gas pedal broke while she was getting off the freeway and braking trying to brake with part cars during rush-hour. The car is going and braking at the same time she had to go up on the curb come to find out the gas pedal broke off and lunged hinged itself between the brake and the gas pedal so when she was trying to break, the car was accelerating at the same time scared her to death.
