Consumer Description

THE ACCELERATOR IS STICKING CAUSING THE CAR TO REV HIGH (4000) RPM'S WHEN NOT STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THIS ACCELERATOR STICK CAN BE CORRECTED TEMPORARILY BY STABBING AT THE GAS PETAL QUICKLY. MY MECHANIC SAID THE CRUSE CONTROL CABLE WAS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED IT BUT THE ISSUE OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER SEVER TIMES AND THEN TO ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT ABOUT 35 MPH LET OFF THE GAS COMPLETELY TO COAST, AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND PICK UP SPEED. THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THE CAR BEING WARMED UP OR RUNNING COLD.
