Description of the problem | Took car to brooker ford dealership on 7/15/14 complaining about gas pedal sticking, motor racing to over 6000 rpms. Had come close to hitting cars in front of me several times while pushing brake pedal down hard. They checked car and replaced air control valve. Total cost to me was $352. 77. A big chunk out of my s. S. Now the same problem has returned, but is much worse this time and is much harder to tap pedal hard to try and get it to slow down. Will be going back to dealership. |
