Consumer Description

CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING - CHECKED CABLE AT THROTTLE AND IT HAD COME UNATTACHED-REATTACHED CABLE AND ALL WAS FINE FOR A DAY. THEN CAR STARTED TO HOLD SPEED WHEN CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. WHEN BRAKING, FELT LIKE GAS PEDAL WAS STILL ENGAGED. PUT CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RPMS WENT UP. TAPPED GAS PEDAL AND ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. PUT CAR BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT WAS FINE AGAIN FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. CAR WILL HOLD RPMS AS IF GAS PEDAL IS STILL ENGAGED EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS NO LONGER ON THE GAS. HAVE TO DEPRESS GAS PEDAL HARD AND FAST TO GET IT TO DISENGAGE AGAIN. BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE REGULARLY. HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL OFTEN TO COME TO A SAFE STOP. CRUISE CONTROL CABLE KEEPS DETACHING FROM ITS HOUSING AND MAKES THE THROTTLE STICK PARTIALLY OPEN. *TR
