Consumer Description

MY 2005 TRIBUTE HAS HAD GAS PEDAL PROBLEMS IN THE PAST. IT WAS SERVICED FOR THIS IN 2008 HOWEVER WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD THE GAS PEDAL IS STILL STIFF AND I HAVE TO STOMP ON IT TO GET IT TO GO. YESTERDAY HOWEVER WAS A DIFFERENT STORY. I HEADED TO WORK WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR. ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD ON A HWY GOING 60 MPH I LET OFF THE GAS TO SLOW DOWN AND MY CAR DID NOT SLOW! I STOMPED THE BREAK AND IT HARDLY MADE A DIFFERENCE. I WENT FOR 3 OR 4 MILES NOT PRESSING THE GAS AND CONTINUED TO FLY DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH! I TRIED TO KICK THE GAS AND IT DIDN'T HELP. I FINALLY TOOK BOTH OF MY FEET AND STOOD ON THE BREAK WHILE TRYING NOT TO GET REAR ENDED AND PULLED OFF ON THE EXIT RAMP STILL GOING 15-20 MPH! I HAD TO TURN THE KEY OFF TO GET MY CAR TO STOP! MY HUSBAND WAS NEAR BY AND SAID THAT MY CAR WAS IDLING AT 3RPMS! IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES....I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT! PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ALL OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE! IF THIS HAD BEEN ADDRESSED EARLIER MY BABY AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO GO THREW THAT! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYONE DOES ANYTHING? *TR
