Consumer Description

ON JULY 4TH, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. SUDDENLY, THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AND MY HUSBAND WAS UNABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN WITH THE BRAKES. HE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA FORD FOR REPAIR. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS "CRUISE CONTROL CABLE FAILED". THE RECEIPT STATED THAT "CRUISE CONTROL CABLE FAILED 1.00 VERIFIED, CRUISE CONTROL CABLE SHEATH BROKEN AND CABLE END FLIPS OVER CAUSE THROTTLE TO BE HELD OPEN". THE FORD SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT HE HAD SEEN SEVERAL ESCAPE'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT HIS MANAGER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL AND FORD WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR. *TR
