| 2008 mazda tribute, approx, 72,000 miles. the gas pedal sticks in cold weather. we live in the baton rouge area so it doesn't get cold often, but the last few day's we've had lows in the 20's and the gas pedal has a sticking issue. it's hard to press and when it finally does the vehicle lunges forward. we had this same issue last year when it also got abnormally cold for this area. | |||

| Accelerator pedal is sticky. it becomes very difficult to push, then will suddenly release and allow you to accelerate. happens every morning, and lasts for about 5-10 minutes. condition is worsening. dealer cleaned throttle body, but it did not fix the problem. i returned the vehicle to the dealer who said the throttle body should be replaced. mazda extended warranty initially denied my claim for repair stating not a covered part. however, they now say it is a covered part, but still have not yet agreed to pay for the repair. i was told that if i pay $100 that the dealer would run some type of cleaner into my gas tank, but with no guaratee it would work. this would not be covered by my extended warranty. a badly sticking accelerator pedal should now be classified as a safety concern! | |||

| Acceleration issue. throttle cable snapped at the firewall nearest to the gas pedal, so i was unable to accelerate and had to coast to the shoulder of the expressway. | |||
