2005 Town Car with 58k miles. Absolutely love the car. Just enjoyed a 2k mile trip and my back would have been crippled before the Lincoln. However, I've got an issue that scares me. Twice in the last couple of months the gas pedal has stuck and it has stuck both times when accelerating heavily. The other day it was my wife so now it's a monster problem. My first thought was the floor mat but that's not the case. The spring on the pedal is much stronger than what's required to overcome the weight of the mat. Looks to me like it's a "drive by wire" accelerator so that rules out anything under the hood binding up. Does anyone know if there's a history of problems with the accelerator on this car? Right now I'm thinking, to be safe, I need to just replace the pedal assembly with the electrics - if in fact it's a "drive by wire" set up. Any thoughts?
