Consumer Description

NUMEROUS TIMES, WHEN THE FOOT WAS REMOVED THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE DID NOT RETURN TO IDLE BUT CONTINUED AS IF YOUR FOOT WAS STILL ON THE ACCELERATOR. WOULD HAVE TO APPLY BRAKES AND GET OFF THE ROAD. EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP IF GOING VERY FAST. KILL THE ENGINE, RAISE THE HOOD AND BARELY TOUCH THROTTLE CONTROL WHERE THE ACCELERATOR CABLE IS ATTACHED AND IT WOULD SNAP BACK TO THE IDLE POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 OR 8 TIMES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! *TR
