Dorman 699-142 Accelerator Pedal

The Dorman 699-142 Accelerator Pedal has garnered mixed feedback from customers who appreciate its cost-effectiveness and initial performance but have raised concerns about its compatibility with certain Ford models. Users have praised the part for functioning effectively and significantly improving throttle response, especially when replacing older OEM parts with extensive mileage, such as those with 280,000 miles. At a third of the price of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) options, it presents a financially appealing alternative for many. However, several customers reported challenges with the installation process. Issues arose with the pedal's connector not fitting properly; specifically, the female end of the connector did not clip securely into the male part of the vehicle’s wiring harness, prompting some users to modify the pedal for a proper fit. Despite these installation hurdles, once fitted, the accelerator pedal generally performed well, with an emphasis on enhanced functionality compared to older, worn-out components. Overall, while the Dorman 699-142 offers great value and improved performance, potential buyers should be prepared for some adjustments during installation, particularly with specific Ford models. **
