| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Driving down the highway at 65 mph and i felt a slight jerk in the vehicle (similar to shifting) and the yellow wrench dashboard light came on, when i pressed the gas pedal, nothing happened. The car was still running but the accelerator did nothing. I pulled the car over, put it in park, turned it off, then back on and it was fine. After driving for another hour, the same thing happened. This is dangerous!! Not having an accelerator on a 70 mph highway is not safe! After researching on the internet the same problem has happened to many milan owners. It's in the shop right now and they can't figure out what's wrong. *jb |
