NP, you know I figured eh I'll give them another chance. So they got their chance and blew it, fool me once. I haven't had tons of repairs but enough to make me rethink my decision, things that people driving imports have never have to fix. Also some genius (I use the term lightly) decided to have a metal butterfly in the intake while the rest is plastic so when it is cold out I have to kick the gas pedal pretty hard just to get it to move and have to keep it slightly pressed or it locks up again. That has been an issue since day one, which I could fix with aftermarket parts but shouldn't have to.

What a way to cut costs, it boggles the mind why you would skimp out on essential engine operation components. What vehicle so I can research this lol?

2007 Ford Focus ST, the problem is plastic and metal contract and expand at different rates so they either have to do all metal or all plastic. The fix is a larger all metal throttle body or use a dremel to increase the opening around the butterfly so it doesn't catch. Basically the butterfly gets stuck in the closed position so stomping on the gas forces it open.
