Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING AND THE SPEED WOULD GO UP TO 90 MPH, THE TRUCK WAS NOT GOING THE SPEED IN REALITY. THEN THE RPM'S WOULD GO UP REALLY HIGH, I STOPPED THE TRUCK PUT IT IN PARK AND BACK IN DRIVE TRIED TO DRIVE OFF. THE TRUCK THEN WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH AND THE GAS PEDDLE WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN TRYING TO GO, THE ENGINE STARTED SMOKING AND WHEN I PULLED OVER OPENED THE HOOD IT WAS SMOKING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE UPPER CORNER OF THE TRUCK. AFTER HAVING A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, HE SAID THE BREAK PRESSURE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT'S A HOT WIRE AND IT'S LEAKING.
