Default Pedal pushing back

This morning when I got in my car and started it up, let it warm up for a min, and took off the gas pedal pushed back at my foot when I got on it abit. So I tried again, same thing, also noticed the low trac light was coming on. I went home and let it completely cool down and started it back up, let it warm up and gave it some gas, and the same thing sitting in park. The pedal pushes back at my foot. Has anyone had this happen to them or have a solution to the problem?

That's your traction control kicking in. Turn off your traction control and it should stop doing this.

Sounds like your TCS system is malfunctioning. I'd have a dealer check for codes. It might be a bad sensor on the rear axle, triggering the TCS when it isn't suppose to. You should be able to disconnect the TCS servo under the hood so you can "limp it in" to the dealer.
