THIS IS THE SECOND TIME OUR GAS PEDAL HAS SNAPPED AND BROKE OFF WHEN TAKING OFF/ ACCELERATING. IT HAS ALSO SEEMED TO DEVELOP SOME SORT OF STUTTER/BOG/HESITATION THAT SEEMS TO BE LINKED WITH THE COMMUNICATION FROM THE GAS PEDAL TO THE COMPUTER. SOMETIMES WE WILL GO AHEAD AND PULL ON OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ACCELERATE TO GET UP TO SPEED AND THE VAN WILL BASICALLY FEEL LIKE IT'S STUTTERING/ HESITATING AND WE GIVE IT FURTHER THROTTLE WITH THE GAS PEDDLE, THEN IT WILL FINALLY ENGAGE AND SEEMS TO DROP DOWN SEVERAL GEARS AND SLAM/THRUST FORWARD. WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALER MOUNTAIN VIEW FORD OF CHATTANOOGA TN AND THEY HAVE YET TO CORRECT OR REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. OUR VAN IS STILL COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. WE HAVE HAD TO SOURCE THE REPLACEMENT PART FROM A JUNK YARD BOTH TIMES IN ORDER TO USE OUR VEHICLE WHICH HAD TO BE TOWED OFF THE ROADWAY. THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND HAS NO BACK STOP TO STOP THE SUSPENDED GAS PEDAL FROM BOTTOMING OUT ONCE IT'S AT FULL ACCELERATION. I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS GOING TO BE WE'RE GOING TO BE MERGING ON TO INTERSTATE AND IT'S GOING TO BRAKE AND LEAVE US STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY WITH ONCOMI NG TRAFFIC AND NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. *DT*JB *BF*JB
