When a large gap…

When it gets below 40 degrees or so my gas pedal will stick in a closed position. You have to press very hard on the pedal for it to allow the car to move however there is a large thrust forward/backward due to opening the throttle so quickly. I have nearly hit 2 cars and almost been hit several times because the car will not go. I have spoke. With ford and they state that there is no recalls regarding the issue and…

Upon putting car into gear, the gas pedal would not cause the car to accelerate. Car had no propulsion. Important to note that the gas pedal had seemed to stick before this incident. Ford motor co. Refuses to cover the cost of fixing this problem, even though they have known about this issue for some time. This car was bought for my 17 yr old daughter. She did not happen to be driving at the time of the incident…

While driving, i went to accelerate, but the gas pedal was stuck in the idle position - like it froze up. I stepped on the gas pedal a few times until it loosened up. This has happened multiple times in the past few years about once every 2 months and typically on colder days less than 32 degrees f. After a throttle body cleanout by a licensed mechanic, it got worse. I looked on line for reviews on 2006 ford…

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

This happened again a couple of days later, but i was able to stop at a red light, and again slammed on the gas pedal until it gave in. Again this happened 2 days ago on my way to…

After starting the vehicle it has to be warmer up for about 30 minutes or more, in order for the gas pedal to press down so the vehicle will move. The gas pedal will not move at all. It has to be warmed up in the summer months and well as the winter months in order for the vehicle to move. The gas pedal is so hard to press that it like trying to press your foot through a brick wall. It does this even when at a stand…

My vehicle dies when the truck is warmed up and i put it in gear with my foot on the brake. It dies at stop lights and stop signs and in reverse. Another technician told me i would have to ride around with that problem because it was not throwing a code. After a week, i took it back to the ford dealer in cleveland, ms, and the service department manager told me it was probably the throttle body actuator. But, that…

On feb 14th, 2013, on my way to work, my car radio went complete dead...then as i was approaching an intersection, my car 'surged' like it was going "on & off". I prayed to get to get out of harms way enough to pull my car over, as soon as i did, all the lights started flashing and there was a constant 'clicking sound'. I called a town truck and had my car towed to my car repair place. Turns out i needed an new…
