Our sabel station wagon continued to accelerate after reaching highway speed. The brakes could not slow it, so I had to turn the ignition off to slow, and on again to regain brakes and steering. I was able to pull off the next exit and into the park and ride. Raising the hood I found the throttle cable housing was out of its socket and holding the throttle open. I put it back in and put some tape on it to keep it in. Koons Ford annapolis performed service bulletin no. : csp-13b04b on 26 July 2013 to correct this problem. The fix did not work. Component(s): vehicle speed control NHTSA id number: 10052600.
Accelerator stuck. Vehicle accelerated when cruising on highway. Put it in neutral at exit from highway, stuck at 4000 rpm. Problem was accelerator cable. Ferrule broken in engine compartment and outer part of cable hung up on mounting bracket.
We were backing out of a parking space & the car accelerated as though I had pressed the gas pedal. This is the third time this has happened, but the first time going in reverse. Both other times the car was in drive. The first time I was on the freeway and I assumed my foot had accidentally pushed the gas, so I ignored it. The second time I was on a county road, and again I assumed it was my fault. This is the first time I could have really hurt someone, and this could potentially be very dangerous.
