Occassionally, while my car is idle both parked but running or while I'm in traffic, the engine accelerates and the RPM gauge races. The engine will not stop racing unless I turn the car off. Also, driver car door does not open from the inside, service dealer says I need to replace entire lock including components not covered under map.

Tribute 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles
The accelerator pedal stuck on two separate occasions. This occurred while accelerating from a stop position. As a result, excessive force had to be applied to the pedal which resulted in rapid acceleration. Both failures were due to the throttle body.

When slowing down to enter highway, and then pressing accelerater and vehicle slows down, instead of speeding up. It is like your putting on the brakes. Driver feels this can cause an accident.

  • Automatic transmission

Vehicle was going 10-15mph and stepped on gas to go 20-25mph. And rpms were sticking, and braking made it 80-85% less effective. Dealer is convinced the problem is the floor mats.
