A potentially leathal condition exists with regard to the cruise control.this system has not worked properly since purchase of the vehicle, despite numerous repairs. On 9/10/99, during heavy acceleration(left turn), the throttle stuck wide open, on investigation I found the cruise control cable caught on the throttle arm. Apparently on wot conditions, the clip holding the cable to the throttle makes contact with its housing disconnecting the cable from the throttle arm. The cable then hangs loose in the engine compartment, causing the afore mentioned problem. Fortunately, this is a manual trans. Vehicle and I was able to rapidly disengage the clutch, avoiding any serious injury (although creating an over-rev condition).this vehicle is equiped with traction control. Please contact me for additional information.
