Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 FORD TAURUS AND AROUND 2006 THE THROTTLE SOMETIMES ACCELERATES AND STICKS ON ITS OWN. THE CRUISE CONTROL ALSO STOPPED WORKING AROUND THIS TIME. WHEN I WAS DRIVING I WOULD NOTICE THE RPM'S GOING UP AND NOT COMING DOWN, SO I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I HAVE ASKED MULTIPLE MECHANICS TO HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT NO ONE HAS HAD A CLUE ABOUT THIS OR HOW TO FIX IT, INCLUDING CLASSIC FORD IN MENTOR, OHIO. *TR
