| 1) i noticed that my rpms were not returning to normal and my vehicle was unable to stop completely. 2) i own a 2002 ford explorer xls 4x4 with the sohc 4.0 liter engine. the throttle cable stuck in the open position causing the engine to surge uncontrollably at approximately 5000 rpms. i had to turn off my ignition to avoid crashing the vehicle into nearby traffic. ota has received reports of this problem, nhtsa action number: pe05037, but closed the case on november 2, 2005. this is a serious defect that could have resulted in a serious crash. i believe that ota should issue a recall for this problem as it did for campaign #03v280000. 3) i will be contacting ford tomorrow to resolve this problem. my vehicle is currently not safe to drive. *tr | |||
