Description of the problem | Gas pedal sticking due to manufactures defect in the way the gas pedal cable is designed. There was not really a crash, but we did have to go off of the road to keep form hitting the car in front of us at a stop light. The cable was frayed and was getting stuck inside of the jacket causing the pedal to stick at the previous setting. I contacted ford, i was told "too bad nothing we can do" if this problem is not fixed people will die and ford doesn't care! Not any real property damage, just mud and a few scratches from going off of the road. |
