6 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2003 Ford Ranger

Failure Date: 04/24/2004

Engine stumbled on acceleration and surged, causing vehicle to hit another passenger car. Accelerator stuck on several occasions, nearly causing previous accidents. I took the truck to the dealership and stated the problems, even though they were unable to find the problem. They agreed that a problem could exist somewhere in the electronics. I am now serving 5 yrs and 10 months in prison for this accident. There was no evidence to support my plea, if it was a accident or deliberate act by the driver. Not only do I wish this to be fixed, but I need more evidence that this has happened to other people has well. I need written evidence from other states that these accidents have happened. In hopes it will help my case. So I can get back home to my family.
