VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR AND AS I COMPLETED PASSING THE ACCELERATOR STUCK IN THE WIDE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. SINCE I WAS ACCELERATING WIDE OPEN THROTTLE WITH NO CONTROL I DECIDED TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF BUT IN THE PROCESS LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICE I PASSED NEARLY REAR ENDED ME. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND WAS ABLE TO FREE THE CABLE MECHANISM BACK TO IDLE POSITION. SOMETHING IN THIS CABLE MECHANISM IS STICKING/BINDING AND THE RETURN SPRING ISN'T STRING ENOUGH TO POP IT BACK. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE. APPARENTLY THE DIESEL VERSION HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT THE V-10 HAS NOT. IT APPEARS THE V-10 ALSO SUFFERS FROM THIS STUCK ACCELERATOR PROBLEM.*AK
