  A CLIP THAT HOLDS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN POSITION FELL OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL THE PEDAL WAS RETURNED TO ITS PROPER POSITION AND THE CLIP WAS REPLACED. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A BETTER RETENTION MECHANISM TO HOLD THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN POSITION. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IF THIS FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR DURING A PASSING MANUEVER OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES.
