VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE ON A HILL. THE THROTTLE BECAME JAMMED IN A FULL OPEN POSITION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC . THE DRIVER IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL RESULTING IN THE ENGINE OVER REVING. THE ENGINE DEVELOPED A KNOCK WHICH WAS LATER DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED CONNECTOR BEARING. UPON INVESTIGATION AS TO CAUSE OF THE JAMMED THROTTLE VALVE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A HEAT SENSOR (IN THE RUBBER BOOT BETWEEN THE AIR FILTER AND THE AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD) HAD DROPPED ONTO THE TOP OF THE ENGINE INSUCH A WAY AS TO CAUSE THE THROTTLE VALVE CAM TO JAM IN A FULL OPEN POSITION. THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN THE ENGINE BEING RUINED AND REPLACED AT A COST OF $2700 PLUS TAX.*AK

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN 1994 WITH ABOUT 14000 MILES, I HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES ATLEAST ONCE A YEAR. ONCE I HAD TO REPLACE THEM WITHIN A 6 MONTH PERIOD. I'VE LOST BRAKES ON A NUMBER OF TIMES TRYING TO STOP. IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 5MPH OR LESS TO 65MPH. I HAD 2 RECALLS DONE. IT WAS ONLY A BAND-AID FOR THE PROBLEM. A YEAR AFTER THIS RECALL, MY VEHICLE NOW NEEDS BRAKES AGAIN, THIS AFTER I JUST HAD IT INSPECTED TWO MONTHS AGO. I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AND HHANDLE A VEHICLE WITH ABS BRAKES, I HAD A FORD WITH ABS BRAKES AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS AND I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. THANK YOU RICKEY DEAN WEESE. *AK
