Consumer Description

CAR ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK AT ABOUT 4,000 RPMS. IT WOULD NOT DISLODGE UNTIL CAR WAS FORCED TO STOP BY MAXING PRESSURE ON BRAKES AND PUTTING CAR INTO 'PARK'. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE GETS WORN AND DISCONNECTS FROM THE THROTTLE BODY AND CAN GET STUCK ON THE THROTTLE CABLE DISALLOWING THE THROTTLE TO RETURN TO IDLE POSITION. THIS VIN IS NOT SUBJECT TO ANY OPEN RECALLS BUT THE CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS.
