I ACCELERATED TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE GAS PEDAL STUCK GOING 65MPH. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AT FULL PRESSURE AND THE CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. I PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND BRAKED, THEN PULL THE E-BRAKE AND PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. VERY DANGEROUS, SCARY MALFUNCTION - THE MECHANIC SAYS THE ACCELERATOR THROTTLE AND CABLE ARE BROKEN. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN IN DIFFERENT YEARS AND MODELS OF PT CRUISERS.

I AM FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM WHICH INCLUDES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, THE CAR NOT WANTED TO ACCELERATE, FEELING LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ONE TIME IT DID STALL IN TRAFFIC HOWEVER, IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES GO OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL CAR PLACES AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VARYING SPEEDS AND WEATHER CONDITIONS, FROM 20 - 60 MILES PER HOUR, LOCAL ROAD TO HIGHWAYS, WARM DAYS, COOL DAYS AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. IT IS HARD TO PREDICT WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN BUT IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS AND PEOPLE ARE INJURED. *TR
