In the newspaper today I read about sticking accelerator pedal, which I have experienced after about 1 year of ownership. I may have received a recall, but I don't remember. However, the problem continues and creates a dangerous situation because the pedal will not always go down when needed. His is an intermittent problem. Is there any information where Mercury will fix this problem?.
