2002: “Gas throttle was stuck and the RPM was racing very high. I had to use both feet on the brakes to keep the vehicle under control before putting it into neutral. The case occurred when I was approaching a traffic light. According to maroone Nissan in miami, it is the throttle cable which is damaged. My truck had the last two major service done at the same location. My minor services like oil changes is never usually done there and I can watch when they are working on the vehicle. I just want to make sure that if this becomes a serious issue, it is on record.”
