Consumer Complaint:
ON MY 2003 FORD TAURUS SEL THE THROTTLE BODY STICKS CAUSING AN UNUSUALLY HIGH AMOUNT OF GAS PEDAL PRESSURE TO RELEASE IT AND ONCE IT RELEASES THE HIGH PEDAL PRESSURE APPLIED CAUSES A RAPID, DANGEROUS ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH THIS VEHICLE THE FIRST REPAIR WAS DONE BY THE FORD DEALER ON JANUARY 15, 2005 AND NOW IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES AND THERE ARE WEBSITES DEVOTED TO DISCUSSING THIS. IN EVERY OCCURRENCE THE THROTTLE BODY MUST BE REPLACED. *TR
