Consumer Description

THROTTLE STICKS AND VEHICLE ACCELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY AND UNPREDICTABLY. I BELIEVE THIS IS PART OF AN INVESTIGATION THAT DATES TO 2012. THE CRUISE CONTROL HAS AN ARM THAT CONNECTS TO THE THROTTLE-BODY. THAT ARM POPS OFF FROM TIME-TO-TIME. WHEN IT BECOMES DISCONNECTED, THE ARM WEDGES BETWEEN THE PIVOT POINT AND THE THROTTLE BODY, CAUSING THE THROTTLE TO STICK OR ACCELERATE.
