Details
What's wrong: An accelerator cable was kinked during installation, causing the core wires to eventually fray.
Why it matters: This could increase the friction in the cable, causing the throttle to be slow to return to idle. This condition could result in a stuck throttle.
The fix: Dealers will install a new accelerator cable.
