EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 FORD F250, (WHICH WAS DELIVERED NEW IN SEPT. 2006), THE THROTTLE HAS FAILED TO RETURN PROPERLY. THERE ARE INTERMITTENT DELAYS OF UP TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL RETURN TO IDLE AFTER RELEASING THE THROTTLE PEDAL WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER OR CALLED THE DEALER EIGHT OR MORE TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROBLEM SINCE DELIVERY. TO DATE, THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. *TR

Reading these

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
