Consumer Description

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, MY GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN STICKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT BEGAN IN MAY 2012 AND HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH COLD WEATHER, BUT IT HAS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS TIMES OF THE DAY AS WELL AS TEMPERATURES AT THROUGHOUT SPRING, SUMMER AND FALL. I AM FORCED TO PUSH HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR WHEN IT STICKS, WHICH CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. IT USUALLY STICKS WHEN I HAVE COMPLETELY STOPPED, BUT HAS OFTEN GOTTEN STUCK WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER COMING OUT OF A CURVE I HAVE SLOWED DOWN TO GO THROUGH. IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO HAVE OCCURRED WITH SEVERAL FORD ESCAPES IN THE PAST. *TR
