Automatic Transmission problems of the 2005 Mazda Tribute

I have a 2005 Mazda Tribute. I've been having problems with the gas pedal. The gas pedal sticks sometimes, and it won't excelerate. The dealership stated they found no problem.

Oct. 2005: car purchased January - March 2006: gas pedal began to stick, pedal would not move until significant pressure was placed on the pedal, causing a "jumping" motion traffic (15000 miles (approx) summer 2006: dealership acknowledged problem, throttle body was replaced at that time. May - July 2009: the problem developed again, causing the exact same type of issues. (45000 miles approx) July 2009: dealership acknowledged problem, replaced accelerator cable. Late July - Aug 2009: problem resurfaced only more difficult. (46000 miles approx).
