Accelerator sticks. This is the 2nd time we have encountered this problem. The first time was within the 36k warranty and had it covered. Cannot remember if they replaced throttle body or just cleaned. It occurred again . . This time @ 80k. I had them replace the throttle body (dealer recommendation for $459. 82). I have owned a total of 4 Villagers and this is the first time I have ever encountered anything like this. It is a hazard because you have to tap the pedal hard to get it to go. When tapping hard there is the possibility of hitting another car. As far as I am concerned this is a danger. I notice that many people have complained about this same issue. I cannot understand why Ford motor is not coming up with a solution or covering the cost on this issue?.

The accelerator pedal sticks when at a stop sign / traffic light or coasting in traffic. I must push very hard on the pedal for the accelerator to move. This happens several times a day. I feel this is a safety issue. I feel like I could possibly rear end another vehicle or possibly be rear ended myself. This problem makes the vehicle hard to drive.

We own a '1999 Mercury Villager van. The brakes have had extensive repairs twice ,and now must be replaced again after only 13,000 miles. Secondly, the accelerator sticks. It has been repaired once and requires repair again. (first time under warranty. This time at a cost of approx. $460. ) the repairmen at the dealership claim the device used to prevent sludge from accumulating on the accelerator line tends to warp due to heat exposure allowing sludge to accumulate on the line and causing the accelerator to stick. It was first repaired at 35,000 miles and now requires a second repair at 73,000 miles.

The accelerator on my 1999 Mercury Villager sticks in the "up" position. This has caused several near accidents when I've had to stomp the accelerator to unstick it. This is a problem when stopped in traffic because it could cause you to ram into the car in front of you. Also, I have found myself "stuck" in the middle of intersections. The problem first occurred about two years ago and was "fixed" by the dealer. The problem has now become much worse and I was told that the throttle body will have to be replaced at a cost of $420. 00. I saw from the customer complaints on this website that this is a common complaint from Mercury Villager owners & Nissan quest owners (the same van as a Villager). I have asked people at random that I've seen driving villiagers and many of them say they have the same problem. I don't understand why this isn't being fixed as a recall since it is clearly a safety hazard to have a stuck accelerator, and it appears to be a common problem for the Mercury Villager & Nissan quest.

Accelerator sticks in an unpredictable manner that can cause the vehicle to lurch forward. The vehcile is especially difficult to control in wet or icy conditions. It appears I will need to have the throttle body cleaned. This vehicle has the same engine and drive train as the Nissan quest which had a recall for this repair. The dealer was contacted (they sell both Nissan & Mercury vehicles) and he indicated the recall was only for the quest.
