Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE THIS MORNING THE GAS PEDAL GOT STUCK AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS OFTEN IN COLD WEATHER AND OCCOURS WHEN DURRING THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. THIS HAPPEND TO ME WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY ROLL INTO AN ADJACENT PARKING AREA WHERE AFTER ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO WARM UP AND TESTING THE GAS PEDAL A FEW TIMES IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATIONS AFTER ABOUT FIFTEEN MINS. IF YOU GOOGLE GAS PEDAL STUCK ON COLD MORNINGS..FORD ESCAPE 2008 QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS COME UP. THIS NEEDS ATTENTION AS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
