Description of the problem	Today i noticed my cruise control would not engage. Later as i pulled up to a stop sign, my car revved forward and i had difficulty stopping it with the brakes. When i proceeded, it accelerated quickly with no gas applied, until i stopped it. It continued to rev after putting it in park. I troubleshot it with a coworker who saw a few other friends with this problem, and he showed me what it was: my cruise control cable disconnected from the throttle, and then stuck in front of the throttle so that it would not close. The clip locking the cruise cable to the throttle is defective. Very dangerous! I can't believe there hasn't been a recall for this.
