| Was traveling home for lunch, turning corner and vehicle suddenly went to idle. pushed gas pedal and it went to the floorboard, but engine remained at idle. was unable to accelerate at all. was able to idle home blocking traffic as i went. checked gas pedal and found that throttle cable had broken. the wire itself had broken. the rubber grommet and crimped end remained in-tacked. this could have been very dangerous if for instance i had been pulling onto freeway or crossing a busy intersection, or in heavy traffic. i believe this part should be inspected on all vehicles of this year and make. this type of breakage could cause an accident and possibly a fatality. *tr | |||
