NHTSA complaint #10093638, filed 2004-10, 75,000 miles“2000 Pontiac Grand Am, plastic connector used to attach cruise control to throttle-body broke and became lodged, resulting in the throttle being held open.

I was able to navigate through a red light at which point I had to put the car in neutral and turn the key off to coast out of the way of other motorist. After fighting to get the car stopped and steering into a parking lot I was able to quickly determine the cause. …”
