Consumer Description

THROTTLE GOT STUCK AND CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND NOW ITS A CONSTANT PROBLEM EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR I CAN GET IT TO STOP MOMENTARILY BY QUICKLY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL WHERE IT WILL STOP ACCELERATING FOR A MOMENT BUT ONCE THE RPMS DROP AS LOW AS THEY ARE GOING TO GO IT STARTS ACCELERATING ALL OVER AGAIN WHEN IN PARK IT REVS OUT AT UP TO 5000 RPMS I KNOW YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE 05 & 06 MODELS BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING ABOUT 04'S ALSO EVERYTHING I'VE RESEARCHED SAYS ITS THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE BEING DISCONNECTED WHICH WAS THE FIRST THING I CHECKED AND MINE IS STILL CONNECTED. *TR
