Sticking Gas Pedal Solution YAY!!!

Took mine into ford service dealer in NJ, one of the best and they've been running tests and told me that it looks like i need a whole new throttle body which wont be in until tuesday but thats really good! So for anyone else with this problem bring it in so that they can replace it before you crash your stangs like the 4 out of 17 reports i found.

Mod any chance we can make this a sticky? or something. Thanks

Haha wonder if xbone still thinks your making it up.

I don't think this has anything to do with floor mats at all. Some cases, maybe, but not all. I'm glad a Ford dealership has recognized this problem and handed you a solution.

yea me too, i thought i was goin to get the run around and have to show him the reports i printed out, but since that place sells all types of mustangs they know their stuff and im probably not the first person. I just hope it doesnt happen again, because my cousin was convinced that it was the cruise control which i also thought was acting up, but whatever it is, im glad its being fixed, anyone else should defintely try to get theirs fixed

yep...happened to me today...i'm taking her in next week...luckily for me i was on the highway out front of my house where the speed limit is 80 km/h (i'm in Canada btw) and it happened when i was entering into a 50 km/h zone

ooo damn, at least your safe :-) i guess it just keeps happening to the mustangs little by little, and at least we know what the problem is as determined by my dealer.

Hopefully that is the problem, but how do they know for sure since you haven't had the throttle body replaced yet?

Is this happening only to V6s or are the GTs experiencing the same problem? I haven't had the problem but I only have about 6k Miles on my car and I probably won't be driving for atleat 4-6 weeks.

they ran some tests, well tests all day and they called and told me they are orderin the throttle body seeing that the test determined that its not functioning properly, and yes its popular among the gts and v6s of any year above 05, checkout the link i posted to the complaints http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...aintsearch.cfm
