Three things come to my mind:
1. Sticking throttles are bad, I experienced it once but luckily no harm done in my case but VERY dangerous.
2. Nice to see dealer caught the problem and raised the red flag rather than denying there is a problem *cough* Ford dealers *cough*.
3. Nice to see the manufacturer stepped up rather than deny or put a spin on it as if it was an "un-advertised feature worthy of an extended warranty" *cough* [I]FORD[/I] *cough*
The Focus had its own throttle problems, which were reluctantly acknowledged eventually, and in addition to that the rear wheel bearings failing also reluctantly became recall items. Crucial items like the front springs breaking and fuel starvation issues are equally dangerous but are either extended warranty items, TSB's or flat out denied.
Anyone want to look the front spring removed from my Focus? Looks mint but for the fact it was cracked to pieces were the short length of rubber sleeve was, darpuppet has seen it if you don't believe me and I still have it.
