| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2004 ford mustang cobra. on the day listed below, i entered a very busy freeway in phoenix and had to give full throttle in third gear in order to merge into an opening. when i went to release the throttle as i moved into the opening, the throttle stayed at the wide open position with the pedal still to the floor. i had to push the clutch in, hit the brakes hard, and shut the engine off to avoid hitting the car in front of me. it was close. then i had to negotiate a safe exit to the side of the road. what i found was the throttle pedal was stuck under a piece of the carpeting. i have found this is not an uncommon occurance in this model. (mustang) i can probably give you the names of 25 people who have suffered this problem. please!! this is a huge safety issue. please do what you can to resolve this problem. again, this is not an uncommon problem and i would be happy to direct you to a forum where you can see many instances of this. thank you for your time. |
