Consumer Description

I HAD A 1998 FORD F150 THAT EXHIBITED THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT TOYOTA'S ARE NOW HAVING. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE CABLE. AFTER HAVING REPLACED THE THROTTLE CABLE, THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENED. IT APPEARED THE THROTTLE WOULD STICK OPEN. TRUCK WOULD ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, TURN OF THE ENGINE AND RESTART. I SOLD THE TRUCK LAST YEAR. THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK BUT NOW THAT ALL THIS WITH TOYOTA IS COMING OUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT THIS. *TR
