I am buying a 2006 Ford Escape. The gas pedal is locking up when trying to accelerate from a stop.

5 Accelerator Pedal problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2006

I have a 2006 Ford Escape that has the gas pedal sticking all the time and it's going to kill my family or someone else's if we can't figure out what is wrong. I see that Ford recalled the same problem for 2004 and 2005 models but will not acknowledge the 2006 models. It started when I bought it sometime in 2006 and is still have problems.
