1 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2011

When slowing down (coasting or breaking) the accelerator hangs. It will hold at a constant rpm (between 2500 and 4000, different each time) I have to put the car in neutral and depress the throttle all the way several times. I checked the throttle cable and there is still tension on it so it is not mechanical between the pedal and the throttle body. Almost seems like a neutral sensor.

2 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2010

The accelerator on my 2007 Ford Focus station wagon with 50,000 miles began sticking when the temperature goes below 40. I press on the pedal and it won't move, then it jumps down and moves quickly. According to the Ford dealer, an electronic piece, the throttle body failed. According to them, Ford is not manufacturing that part and the car can not be repaired until they find a new supplier, possibly end of January. It has been sitting at the dealership since Dec 6 with a sticking accelerator and is not now currently safe to drive or fixable.
