"...The agency says the cruise control cable may become detached and hold the throttle open. Drivers have reported that it was hard to stop the car with the brakes, and several said they had to shut off the engine or shift into neutral to stop.

 

The investigation, opened Wednesday, covers an estimated 360,000 of the sedans. It does not include a nearly identical car, the Mercury Sable. NHTSA posted documents outlining the probe on its website over the weekend. The investigation could lead to a recall, but so far none has been ordered..."

 

 

 

Not the Sable?:doh:
