3 Accelerator Stuck problem

Failure Date: 05/13/2009

Ford Escapes were recalled for sticking accelerators while this vehicle was under warranty. At ~90k miles, accelerator began sticking (three separate occasions). Fortunately all occurred on the highway where there was enough time to pull over and 'unstick' the accelerator. Mats were not the issue since I removed the mats after the first incident. Ford claimed there was nothing wrong yet replaced several components (at my expense). No incidents since then - about 20k miles later. Obviously they still have a problem.
