Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 MERCURY SABLE I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR I GOT MY SPEED UP TO ABOUT 50 MPH, I THEN TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK, THE SPEED STARTED CLIMBING BY IN ITSELF IT GOT UP TO 70MPH. I TAPED THE ACCELERATOR A FEW TIMES TO TRY TO GET IT TO RELEASE, I ALSO TRIED TO LIFT PEDAL WITH MY FOOT. I HAD TO RIDE THE BRAKES AND THAT BROUGHT ME DOWN TO ABOUT 50 MPH, IT FINALLY LET LOOSE AND SLOWED DOWN. MY HUSBAND HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO HIM TODAY JANUARY 22,2013, HE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE HE THEN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE WAS REVVING HE HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF THEN TURN THE KEY BACK TO THE ON POSITION SO HE COULD STEER THE CAR AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. *TR
