problem #2

Venture

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Driving home from work and the accelerator got stuck in the open position. Car was at full throttle and continuing to accelerate into traffic ahead. Continued placing the car in neutral, braking, and putting it back in drive until I could pull over to a safe spot. Very dangerous situation. Accelerator cable has been replaced, but don't know if damage has occurred to the transmission.
