| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 99 ford explorer 4wd, eddie bauer edition. from time to time, the throttle will stick , especially when its cold. i can't replicate the stick reliably. when it sticks, i have to press extra hard on the throttle, resulted burst acceleration that could cause potential accident with the vehicle in front of me. i have to be extra careful when that happen when driving into my garage, which i always afraid that my explorer would run into the wall. contacted ford dealer to see if there's any recall, they said they wanted $99 for the diagnostic but no guarantee. ford said they had similar case, but it was on other models and not willing to go further unless i pay the $99.95 diagnostic fee. like i mentioned before, i can't replicate the sticking throttle reliably, therefore the $99 diagnostic fee will go to waste because the ford dealer would sure tell me there's no problem with throttle. please let me/us (ford explorer driver) know if you have similar complaints filed in your database and what actions you are taking to resolve this issue. thank you. *jb |
