Consumer Description

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A LIGHT AT APPROX 30 MPH THE FUEL INJECTION ASSIST RETURN CABLE BROKE AND THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. I WAS ABLE TO MANUVER BETWEEN THE VEHICLES IN TRAFFIC AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS LUCKEY, SOME OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURE AND HAVE GOTTEN A RESPONSE THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED MY COMPLAINT, BUT I NEEDED TO REPORT THIS CONDITION TO THE DOT BECAUSE OF THE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ON THE UNCONTROLLED FULL THROTTLE MOVEMENT.*AK
