VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
IMPACT TO FRONT OF VEHICLE CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL SERVO TO PULL THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE FASTENER OUT OF ITS BRACKET AFTER THE RETAINING TABS BROKE OFF. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO RACE OUT OF CONTROL, WELL OVER 3,000RPM. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED BY CRASHING INTO A WALL!! I HAVE THE REPORT FROM THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR TO SUBSTANTIATE THE CAUSE, I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN AGAIN IF A SIMILAR IMPACT TAKES PLACE. THE OCCUPANTS MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AS MY HUSBAND AND I, WE WALKED AWAY, OTHERS MAY NOT!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN ACCORD..FORCES TO DRIVER TO BRAKE HEAVIER THAN NORMAL USE. VEHICLE IDLES AT A RATE THAT ALLOWS TO PULL OUT OF PARK SPACE IF BRAKE IS NOT DEPRESSED. IF BRAKE IS ALLOWED TO RELEASE MOVING OF VEHICLE CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HAS MAINTAIN A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY OF 12 MILES PER HOUR OVER A INCLINED GRADE GOING OVER 3 SPEED BUMPS. THE STEERING COLUMN HAS A POPPING SOUND AND THAT CAN ALSO BE FELT WITH FEET ON FLOOR BOARD. HAVE HAS BACK TO A DODGE DEALER 3 TIMES. ALL 3 TIMES WE ARE TOLD COMPUTER SHOWS NOTHING WRONG AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS " WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT".. MANAGEMENT HAS GIVEN NO SATISFACTION. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS MANUFACTURES DEFECTED AUTOMOBILE. I FEAR A OUT OF CONTROL ACCELERATION WILL OCCURE AND THE STEERING WILL MALFUNCTION CAUSING INJURY. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU. *AK
