| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving on a narrow two-lane road, i proceeded to pass another vehicle. i accelerated and kicked the truck into passing gear. the throttle went to the wide open position and would not release. i used the brakes to fight the out of control engine and vehicle. i proceeded down the curvy for 3 to four miles until i got to a pullout place where i applied the brakes so hard that it killed the engine. the brakes were down to no pads, were very hot, and cooked out grease that caught on fire. i restarted the engine at which time the throttle was no longer stuck in the wide open position. *ak |
