Description of the problem | Vehicle accelerates on its own, causing it to cruise around 50-60mph without any pressure on the throttle. When this happens, dropping the vehicle into neutral causes the engine to rev high. When shut off and started again, problem still persists. Has noticeably occurred on three different instances. Might be similar to a current nhtsa investigation regarding "sticky accelerators" on tauruses. The cruise control on the vehicle stopped working on the car approximately a year ago, and the problem has occurred since then. |
