| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: About 70% of the time, when i try to start up from a stop the accelerator will not go down under gradual pressure. i have to push harder and harder until the accelerator suddenly jerks down and the car surges ahead at a fast speed. sometimes when the car is moving and i try to speed up, the same thing happens. this is very annoying on good roads, difficult to control in stop and go traffic and extremely dangerous on slippery or snow covered roads. i took the car in to the dealership (germain ford of columbus) and the service manager said that they had received many complaints but had no idea of what the problem was. i have just put a random date down because it happens every day that i drive the car. *la |
