I have a Ford Focus 2006 and when the weather is cool or cold when I start my car the gas pedal is stuck. I have to forcefully pump it several times before it will loosen and depress. I couple of times it froze will I was driving the car in traffic. Just recently I accidently hit the course control button and when I took it out of course control the gas pedal was frozen.

**_Not Good. You Shouldn’t Be Driving This Car Until It’s Fixed Because It Is Potentially Dangerous Whenever A Gas Pedal Sticks._**

If You’re lucky the problem is just a coked-up throttle body/throttle plate. Properly cleaning it may fix it or further diagnosis is necessary.

We share the roads with you. We thank you for your prompt attention in this matter.
