Consumer Description

GAS PEDAL STICKS WHENEVER TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW FREEZING. HAD ISSUES SINCE CAR WAS NEW IN 2006, BUT THIS WEEK ISSUE IS MUCH WORSE. NORMALLY YOU CAN PUSH HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL AND GET IT TO WORK. THIS WEEK I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE CAR TO WARM UP BEFORE I CAN DRIVE, THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT BUDGE. I'VE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THIS IS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT FORD PLANS TO DO ABOUT IT. *TR
