[QUOTE="flyn high again, post: 2718454, member: 9555"] Glad to hear you are OK. Here's some advice for anyone else or if this happens again. First thing to do is push in the clutch. This will kill your forward impetus. The engine will be bouncing off the rev limiter so unless you can free the pedal quickly with a couple of kicks or a toe pry, get to the side of the road and shut the car down by turning off the key. Keep in mind that when you turn off the key you will lose power steering and power brakes. In my opinion, it's better to bounce off the rev limiter until you can safely get off the road and shut down. Stay calm and react quickly but carefully. Do not lose control of the car in traffic. Forced 03, call the NHTSA [National Highway Traffic Safety Association and report the incident. If enough people do that, Ford will be forced to address the sticking pedal issue.
