Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2000 FORD FOCUS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE STARTED STICKING WIDE OPEN. AFTER INSPECTION I FOUND THE CABLE HAD WIRES IN THE CABLE HOUSING BROKE AND WAS CAUSING THE THROTTLE TO STICK OPEN. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD OPEN THE THROTTLE WHILE ACCELERATING AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. I NOW HAVE THE CABLE DISCONNECTED FROM THE CRUISE CONTROL FORD WANTS OVER $100 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS A FAULT TO THE CABLE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. WHY WANT THEY ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS CAR. I COULD OF BEEN KILLED FROM THE STICKING THROTTLE CABLE. *TR
