Consumer Description

WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE FROM STANDING STILL. WHEN IT DOES KICK IN THE CAR JUMPS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM, HOWEVER, FORD HAS STATED THAT IT IS BASED ON VIN AND MARCH - APRIL OF 2004 WAS A PROBLEM BUT JUNE 04 (MY MAN DATE?) WAS NOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY SINCE ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO AFTER I GOT THE CAR. IT APPEARS TO BE A CARBON BUILD UP PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IT IS RIDICULOUS TO HAVE TO GO IN ONCE A MONTH TO HAVE IT CLEANED. *TR
