Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 FORD MUSTANG (V6 WITH 7,000 ON THE ODOMETER) AT APPROX. 40MPH THE GAS PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME TOTALLY INOPERATIVE. THIS OCCURRED ONLY ONCE BUT WAS FOLLOWED IN TWO SUBSEQUENT EVENTS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND THE (YELLOW WRENCH LIGHT) FOR THE THROTTLE CONTROL. THIS THEN ACTIVATED THE "LIMP HOME" MODE. OBVIOUSLY LOOSING ALL GAS PEDAL RESPONSE WHILE DRIVING WAS THE FRIGHTENING PART OF ALL THIS. *TR
