Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Through mountainous region in ar, throttle stuck wide open...found a little $3 piece that broke on the part that holds the linkage to the transmission to the throttle... car kept going faster and faster... brake system failed. had to put car in neutral, and go up steep incline... key would not come out because the ignition switch is not functioning properly. had to replace the piece that broke, the transmission, car still idled high.. and had to replace another part as well. the brakes are very spongy, they have been bled numerous times, and the master cylander replaced and they still have to be pressed down 2-3 inches (very soft) before you feel any sort of brakage. the car still does not run correctly. have spent 650.00 + on air conditioner, and it still does not work right. appears to be a short in it, because when car is accellerated, it will start cooling again... one part has been replaced 3 times, so something is shorting it out.
