Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While driving my 2003 dodge neon sxt the throttle cable snapped and i lost the ability to accelerate or control the car speed. this happened in the fast lane of a 6 lane roadway. i was able to coast the vehicle off the roadway and had it towed to the dealer. while with this incident i was fortunate to avoid a collision if the potential for a serious accident was obvious. several approaching cars narrowly avoided colliding with my vehicle because of the sudden loss of the ability to maintain speed. *jb
