Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2003 DODGE NEON SXT THE THROTTLE CABLE SNAPPED AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR CONTROL THE CAR SPEED. THIS HAPPENED IN THE FAST LANE OF A 6 LANE ROADWAY. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. WHILE WITH THIS INCIDENT I WAS FORTUNATE TO AVOID A COLLISION IF THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAS OBVIOUS. SEVERAL APPROACHING CARS NARROWLY AVOIDED COLLIDING WITH MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED. *JB
