Consumer Description

STARTING APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO MY THROTTLE STARTED GETTING STUCK ON MY CAR. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDDLE, THE SPEED SLOWED DOWN SOME, BUT THEN IT ACTED AS THOUGH THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON AND THE THROTTLE WAS STUCK. I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE BUT THE THROTTLE WAS STILL ENGAGED. EVEN WHEN I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE THROTTLE WAS STILL ENGAGED AND THE ENGINE RACING. SEVERAL TIMES I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND/OR STOMP ON THE GAS PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE THROTTLE TO RELEASE. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. *TR
