VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 75 MPH IN WYOMING, THE CAR BEGAN AN GRADUAL INCREASE IN SPEED - THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT TOUCHED. TOUCHING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES DID NOT STOP THE SPEED INCREASE. TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH DID NOT STOP THE INCREASE. AFTER HAD BREAKING AND AFTER REACHING A SPEED OF 90 MPH, THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION FINALLY STOPPED. AFTER THAT WE DID NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF WYOMING WITH NO TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE, IF WE HAD BEEN IN CITY TRAFFIC WE WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE CRASHED INTO SOMEONE.*AK

A FUEL LINE UNDER THE HOOD WAS SPRAYING GASOLINE. IT WAS NOT FROM A FITTING. IT WAS SPRAYING FROM A HOLE IN THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE TUBBING.
