Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is an ongoing problem with the vehicle the throttle sticks in the idle position when the gas pedal is released. it takes a very firm push to release the throttle and when it does release the vehicle lurches forward. complaints to the dealer result in a recommendation to have the fuel system flushed on an ongoing basis. some relief is achieved by cleaning the throttle body area around the butterfly plate. this has to be done almost monthly. the dealer also states that he does not know of a factory fixes to this problem.*ak
