Description of the problem | Twice in three years the accelarator cable broke, leaving us sitting in traffic. The first time was approx 3-4 weeks after we purchased the car from the dealer. The dealer claims that they have not had this problem before and will not cover/honor their own repairs from three years ago. We are having to pay for the cable repair and now feel that for a car with only 30k miles-this problem is dangerous and should be investigated. Thank you.*ak |
