Safari

  • miles
Throttle cable frayed causing extreme and unwarranted acceleration from 65 mph fwy speed to 90 mph and then stuck open at this point. Braking extremely difficult due to speed, however managed to reduce speed to point of being able to place gear in nuetral position and stop. As a result brake pads were ruined and needed replacement as well as accelerator cable.
