Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH AND WENT TO DECELERATE. I NOTICED THE CAR NOT SLOWING DOWN AND THE TAC WAS AT 1800 RPM. I HIT THE BRAKES HARDER AND WAS READY TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT DID NOT. I COULD HEAR THE BRAKES WORKING HARDER. THE RPMS STILL AT 1800 AS I TURNED INTO WORK. I HEARD A POP AND THE MOTOR RPMS DROPPED TO JUST UNDER 1000 RPMS. ON MY WAY BACK HOME THE CRUISE CONTROL SEEMED TO WORK PROPERLY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF NO ACCELERATION OR HOLDING SPEED. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE. ON 12/16/13, I LOOKED AT THE THROTTLE ASSY AND NOTICED A CABLE HAD COME UNCLIPPED. I REATTACHED THE CABLE AND I TRIED THE CRUISE CONTROL, IT ENGAGED. ANYONE NOT FAMILIAR WITH AN AUTOMOBILE WOULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OR WORSE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
