What owners wrote
The cruise control on the right side of steering wheel of 2005 ford escape has a very sharp cutting edge on it resulting in injury.
Gas pedal getting stuck/not working off and on for last year; gasket was replaced, now recently sticking again. Today, was on arterial when pedal stuck, luckily no traffic as for several minutes vehicle would not move. Got pedal unstuck after several tries and lifting with toe, so was able to get home. Car in shop now. Dangerous!
