Gas pedal sticks after removing your foot. You must exert extra pressure on pedal to break it loose before accelerating. Does not seem to stick while driving. Dealer had already replaced defective throttle body 3 times so far - I am currently on my fourth throttle body part inside the first 15 months of ownership. Currently, it needs replacing again. The dealer indicated they replaced it with the new redesigned part on the last repair, but it did not seem to help. After the part is replaced, the problem goes away for a few months, and then returns.

The throttle assembly sticks. When I press on the accelerator it appears stuck. I must press harder than necessary to release the throttle so vehicle will respond. This is my third complaint and second throttle. Ted russell Ford in knoxville and don smith Ford in greeneville have been very cooperative and responded to my complaints. My concern is that this appears to be a reoccurring problem with the design of the part. In certain situations this condition could be very dangerous. I would like to have assurance that the most recent repair has corrected the sticking throttle, and I will not experience it again.
