general problems of the 1999 Ford F-250

I was driving on the interstate going highway speed of 65 mph and the accelerator was stuck open and I could not slow down. The engine stayed at a high rpm. I had to press with a lot of force to slow down and come to a stop with the engine still at high rpm and had trouble stopping. Luckily, where I live there's not much traffic, and I made it to a shop with this issue. Upon investigating, the accelerator cable became frayed where it enters the sheath and gets stuck there. The Ford dealer didn't have a replacement in stock or any nationwide. So I went to a junk yard to find one and found the same vehicle that had the same frayed accelerator cable. I located a newer, second vehicle with less mileage with same cable that matched without any fraying. In the meantime, I ordered a new accelerator cable through Ford, but it was backordered several months and tied up in shipping. With this happening on these two same vehicles, I thought I should report it. Thank you.
