Consumer Description

MY 2005 FORD ESCAPE GAS PEDAL STICKS HORRIBLY. IT IS CONSTANTLY STICKING, AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED US NUMEROUS WRECKS. FORD TRIED TO CHARGE ME $360 TO REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER. I DID NOT GO THROUGH WITH IT. I PAID $120 FOR A NEW THROTTLE CABLE AND IT DIDN'T FIX IT AS WELL. I'M AT THE POINT WHERE IT IS TO DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVEN WITH MY FAMILY, AND I DO NOT TRUST THE VEHICLE ONE BIT. *TR
