Consumer Description

RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE STICKING IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THE THROTTLE ACCELERATOR PERIODICALLY STICKS IN THE CLOSED POSITION. WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE, THE THROTTLE SUDDENLY FREES UP AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD SUDDENLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. DEALER ADVISES THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE THROTTLE BODY, SUCH THAT THE THROTTLE PLATE HANGS UP DUE TO A PROTUSION. THROTTLE BODY MUST BE REPLACED AT OWNERS EXPENSE. *JB
