2004 Ford TAURUS Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1456333
Internal NHTSA #	11081519
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	TAURUS
Model Year	2004
File date	25/03/18
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The problem is the cruise control cable can come a loose from the throttle body when the accelerator is pressed. When the driver releases the accelerator, if the cruise control cable has come loose, the fitting at the end of it can get jammed in the cam that rotates the throttle plate, and it won allow the throttle to close, causing the engine rpm to stay high. This can happen randomly. It may happen while driving, and it can be duplicated when the car is in park. Several other people have had this concern. I "googled" throttle sticking on 04 taurus, and came back with several hits, including some shadetree fixes. I feel this should be a recall as it can lead to a crash if the brakes arent powerful enough to overcome the engine's power output or the driver doesnt think to turn the ignition off (or they turn the key too far and lock the steering too) and/or engine/transmission damage.
