| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The thottle stuck in the wide open position and would not return to idle. the brakes were just able to stop the vehicle. shifting to neutral caused the engine to go well into the redline on the rpm indicator. pulling up on the accelerator pedal did nothing. the dealer said the linkage was rusted tight. they don't have new parts so they scrapped the rust off, oiled it and put it back together. they said the throttle cable was not the problem as in the recall of "95-96 vehicles. this is a hard truck to get stopped when the throttle is stuck wide open. good thing my wife wasn't driving it.*ak |
