Consumer Description

ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I-95, HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE HOUSE, INSPECTED THE PEDAL AREA AND NOTICED THERE ARE 3 MISSING SCREWS AND ONE OF THE THREE OPENINGS IS NO LONGER USABLE. I'VE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL COMING OFF ON FORDS. CONTACTED SAWGRASS FORD IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FL. A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE $180.00 TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR PLUS THE COST OF THE PART. FORD SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THIS AS A SAFETY MEASURE, SOMEONE COULD REALLY BE INJURED AND KILLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. HOPEFULLY THEY WONT WAIT TILL A LIFE IS LOST FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO THIS AND POSSIBLY HAVE A RECALL. *TR
