This complaint is reguarding a 2002 Ford Thunderbird. I am the origianl owner, and have had the car in a Ford repair shop 4 times for the same problem. The engine throttle sticks, usually when the the brakes are applied. The last incident resulted in the car running through the kitchen of my house. Ford can not find any reason for this reoccuring problem.

3 Accelerator Pedal problem of the 2003 Ford Thunderbird

Failure Date: 11/20/2003

When braking the brake pedal goes down past the gas pedal, foot to hit them at the same time. It is a very unsafe condition because you are braking and accellerating at the same time. Also the brake pedal is too close to the gas pedal. I think the brake pedal should never depress below the gas pedal. My wife and I have the same problem. Dealer has said it is normal.
