NHTSA Complaint #10583684 — 2005 FORD ESCAPE

TWO REGULAR ONGOING ISSUES......WHEN DRIVING, IF FOOT IS TAKEN OFF GAS PEDAL TO EASE UP SPEED, GAS PEDAL THEN STICKS AS IF SOMETHING IS BLOCKING IT (NOTHING IS BLOCKING), NO AMOUNT OF PRESSING WILL MOVE IT, AFTER SOME SECONDS OR A MINUTE, IT WILL FUNCTION AGAIN. HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN COLD, OR WHEN JUST STARTING OUT. CAR CONTINUES TO DECELERATE UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL BEGINS TO FUNCTION AGAIN. SECOND ISSUE.......ENGINE LIGHT WITH CODE P0455 IS ON MOST OF THE TIME, GAS CAP LOOSE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON , REPLACING GAS CAP DID NOT HELP. *TR
