Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 windstar se. the gas pedal has a pivot in the arm and over the last 8 months that i have owned the vehicle this pedal has caused me to almost get into several accidents. the pedal flips almost horizontal towards the drivers seat when i take my foot off of it, therefore when i go to leave a stop light or something of that nature it is almost like slamming the gas pedal. in order to get the pedal back in the position it was orginally in i have to flip it back up with my foot. this is a very bad problem and needs to be fixed. i believe there should be a recall on this van to fix the problem.*ak
