Consumer Description

WE FIRST EXPERIENCED THE STICKING GAS PEDAL IN MAYBE 2008. WE BROUGHT IT TO HAWK FORD IN OAK LAWN, ILL AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR TRUCK.. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED ON AND OFF FOR YEARS. THE LAST STRAW WAS WHEN MY HUSBAND HAD TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES WITH HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE GAS PEDAL TO GET TO OUR HOUSE. I HAD PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THIS LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION TO YOUR DATABASE A FEW YEARS AGO. I FOLLOWED UP WITH SEVERAL LETTERS/E-MAILS TO FORD, ALL OF WHICH WERE UNSYMPATHETIC AND MET WITH VEILED SARCASM AND LACK OF INTEREST. I STILL WONDER HOW THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THIS TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS DEFECT IS REAL. *TR
