Many times, either after a stop or letting my foot off the gas pedal and then trying to push the gas pedal again, the pedal would not move, and I could no longer accelarate and have been forced a few times to pull off to the side of the road until I could get it to press down. Sometimes waiting for 5+ minutes for it to work. I had someone look at it, it's the throttle body. It gets build up in it and can't compress, seems to be worse in the cooler weather (vs summer). This is a very dangerous, especially with traffice around, and I have had my kids in the car when its happened and I get nervous it'll happen in a situation that I can't prevent an accident. I have never had a problem with a throttle on any of my other cars, nor have I known anyone with this issue.

Stop at a red light the fuel peddle got stuck would not accelerate. Finally the Mariner started moving then had to come to a stop for stop sign same thing happened. Took it to the shop said the "throttle" was broken on this. This is a very dangerous can't drive it with the throttle being broken. Never had a problem with a throttle on any of my pass cars. Tracer, ls mustang I have these cars over the years. Bought all of my cars from the same dealership.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
