| When the weather gets cold the gas pedal becomes stuck and will not depress. after repositioning foot, the pedal would depress. yesterday on 12/27/12 the pedal would not depress while driving, which almost caused an accident because i could not accelerate when needed. i took the car to the ford dealer and the issue was with the throttle body, which had to be replaced. this seems to be a dangerous issue and a recall should be issued. *tr | |||

| I noticed that on cold mornings the gas pedal would not depress until a certain amount of force would be exerted on the pedal. sometimes you would have to stomp on the gas to get it free. sometimes a quick press-release-press again would free the gas pedal. as the engined warmed the problem would decrease. on occasions i would stop at a stop sign and roll halfway through the intersection before i could get the pedal free. dealer indicated that they couldn't find anything wrong although i am aware of 1 other ford escape and 2 mazda tributes with the same problem. *tr | |||
