Consumer Description

ANYTIME THE TEMPERATURE BECOMES COLD OUT, THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT BUDGE; NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU STOMP ON IT. MY REMEDY HAS BEEN TO TURN THE FLOOR BOARD HEATER ON FULL BLAST FOR ABOUT 20 MINS.; IF I AM LUCKY, THIS WILL RELEASE THE PEDAL AND I AM ABLE TO PUSH IT DOWN TO ACCELERATE. (THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS COLD OUT SIDE, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT DURING THE WARM MONTHS; AS OF YET.) I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AT MARSHAL MIZE FORD, HIXSON, TN, SO I PHONED THEM REGARDING THE ISSUE AFTER I READ THE NC CONSUMER.ORG REPORT AND GAVE THEM THE CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03 INFORMATION. THE REPLY I RECEIVED WAS, "THERE IS NO RECALL ON YOUR VEHICLE. HOWEVER; IF YOU BRING IT IN, WE COULD FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT YOU WILL BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. IF THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM, IT WILL BE AROUND $304 PLUS LABOR." *TR
