Description of the problem | 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." |
