Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE ESCAPE DOWN RESIDENTIAL ROADS AROUND 24MPH AND AS SHE LET OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR IT STILL WAS ACCELERATING. SHE PUT ON THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINE STILL WANTED TO ACCELERATE BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE A TURN. AS SOON AS SHE LET OFF THE BRAKE IT STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN WITHOUT HER DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. SHE PULLED INTO OUR PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE THROTTLE WAS STILL ON. SHE JUST DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AS MUCH AND SHE COULD AND IMMEDIATE TURNED THE CAR OFF. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND NOTICE THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE APPEAR OUT OF PLACE. I TOOK THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE OFF OF THE THROTTLE CABLE AND TOOK THE CAR FOR A TEST DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND IT APPEARED TO BE WORKING FINE. THEN I DROVE IT LATER THAT DAY AND THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE CAME OFF THE THROTTLE CABLE SO THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T WORK. I CAN SEE HOW IF THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE CAME OFF THE THROTTLE CABLE IT COULD CATCH THE THROTTLE CABLE AND KEEP THE THROTTLE OPEN. *TR
