VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 50 MILES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, I PUT ON THE FOOT BRAKE AND THE MOTOR STARTED RACING. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPPED WAS TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN ONE EVENING BUT THE DEALER AND TECHNICIAL WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. THEREFOR THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT.
