Did you tell daughter that once the pedal is sitting flat on the
floor, she can't make it go any faster by shoving it through the floor?
Any chance the odometer switched over from full time mode to part time?
Especially watch when one of the odometers hits a multiple of ten or
a hundred miles, does it hang up for a while before continuing?
Bottom line is that the accelerator pedal itself had broken. It's a
plastic part, is over 18 years old, and has been driven over 290,000
miles, but the pedal broke!
Given that it _is_ plastic, and right out where you can even
_step_ all over it, it's surprising that more of them don't break.
