CAR WAS STATIONARY. DECIDED TO GO INTO ANOTHER LANE SO WHILE TURNING INTO OTHER LANE, DEPRESSED GAS PEDAL FIRMLY AND IT STUCK TO THE FLOOR REVVING UP THE ENGINE TO WHERE II IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED THE BRAKES ON BUT STILL HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY FROM AN ONRAMP WHERE I "UNSTUCK" THE PEDAL BY WEDGING MY FOOT UNDER THE SIDE OF THE PEDAL AND PULLING OUT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME THING AND DISMISSED IT. THE FREEWAY WAS PRETTY EMPTY. THIS NEW CIRCUMSTANCE WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AS I WAS AT A STOP IN…

ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHEN GAS GAUGE GETS TO 1/4 OF TANK. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN GOING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAY, GOING SLOW SPEEDS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, OR AT A STOP SIGN. LOOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. HAVE TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP, PUT IT IN PARK, AND RESTART IT. NO WARNING, NO ENGINE MISFIRES, JUST ABRUPT SUDDEN STOP. THE ONLY COMMON THING IS THE LEVEL OF GASOLINE IN THE VAN. AS LONG AS IT IS FILLED BEFORE IT GETS TO 1/4 TANK, IT DOESN'T HAVE PROBLEMS. TOOK TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE…

The check engine light came on, we took it to a auto zone it showed cylinder 2 misfire. We repaired the spark plugs and spark plug housing units. The check engine light was still on after that. So we took it to a shop had them run a diagnosis again and the same cylinder 2 misfire came back. They took out and replaced all the spark plugs and housing units again and even replaced the fuel pump. Reset the check engine light and it still came back on.
