Speed Control Cable problems of the 2008 Mazda Tribute

I was turning into a parking spot and of a sudden I couldn't turn my steering wheel. I got it towed to a dealership they said it was the power steering. They replaced the torqgue sensor. Then my next problem was my gas pedal sometimes just wouldn't accelerate. I was driving on the highway in the fast lane with cruise control on I turned it off. Then I tried to push my gas pedal it wouldn't accelerate so I had to hurry up and pull on the side of the highway because cars where behind me. It eventually just started back and another time it was 3 am and I was driving on a back road. I pushed my gas pedal but it wouldn't accelerate so I started hitting it as hard as I could. It still wasn't working so I pulled over and put it in park. I just kept on pushing the gas pedal and after 15 mins it started back working. I took my tuck to another Mazda dealership and they replace the throttle cable and retainer. A month later I started having the same problem again. I was turning on to a highway ramp and it wouldn't accelerate. Since I was turning I wasn't going that fast so I had to just let my truck roll to the side of the highway until it started back working. I called mazada to see if they had a recall on the gas pedal. They said no but there was a recall on the power steering but it ended sept. 2015. Today was March 21,2016 I'm just finding out about it, and I didn't receive anything in the mail about it. They really need to have a recall on the gas pedal I still don't know what the problem is. I'm so scared I'm going to get in an accident.

The throttle cable was jamed in the iddle position, and the car would not go forward after backing out of the driveway at idle, I had to pull the car back into the driveway with are 2nd car to let trafic go by as are driveway is on a slight incline, this could have been a real problem if my wife had not been home to help steer one of the cars or if someone had come speeding down the road and not seen it crossways of the road.

Accelerator became stiff on cold mornings. Accelerator cable clip broke, Tribute would not accelerate at all. (fell to floor) clip replaced, still sticking. Taking back to dealership to see what else is going on.

2008 Mazda Tribute: accelerator sticks in the unaccelerated position. Have had I fixed before and the mechanic new exactly what the problem was. He fixes at least two a week. He said the throttle cable runs through the intake and it accumulates grime until it sticks. Costs me $75 bucks everytime. One day mr Mazda is going to be sitting infront of a congressional hearing explaining why a mother and her kids couldn't get off of the rxr tracks in time. Because her pedal stuck.
