| My van would be all right until i would come to a stop light or stop sign and then it would start to lurch and it felt like the motor was in a diffrent gear. if i would turn it off it would work fine. it would not do it all the time - it cost about 537.00 to fix it. and it was a pres control solenoid. *ak | |||

| Minivan failed when it raced away out of control at extremely high speed, with owner at the drivers controls, as a result of a small part in a hvac vent support loosening and falling into the apparatus controlling the accelerator cable, causing the accelerator to be stuck in a position of high speed acceleration. owner tried to stop the minivan and could do so only by jamming on the brake with both feet while operating the vehicle up an inclined exit ramp. *ak | |||

| My wife was driving through town with our daughter and her parents and as she was coming out of town started to press on the accelerator to get up to speed. all of a sudden the accelerator pedal went to the floor and the throttle was wide open and the pedal was hanging there and was inoperable. fortunately she wasn't going very fast and was able to put the vehicle in neutral and use the brakes to slow down enough to get off the side of the road and get the vehicle stopped and then her father was able to get under the hood and get the engine to stop revving. the vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was purchased and the accelerator cable was replaced because it had broken. the old part may still be available at the dealership, but i'm not sure. | |||
