“2001 mercedes c240. My wife was driving under normal conditions and the accelerator failed. The engine would go full throttle when in gear. She had to call a tow truck to have it towed to mechanic. He found the car computer had said the electronic accelerator was bad. A new accelerator was put in and no more problem.”
