investigation involving reports of unintended acceleration.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it has received 14
complaints from drivers who've had difficulty bringing their vehicles to a
halt when their cars sped-up after their throttles became stuck in the open
position.

Government investigators are looking at cruise control cables in some 2005
and 2006 Ford Tauruses that allegedly became detached, according to a NHTSA
report.
Some of the complaints said that in addition to applying the brakes, drivers
had to shift into park or neutral in order to stop the vehicles.
Some drivers reported that their engines revved as high as 4,000 revolutions
per minute after the car was shifted into park or neutral.
"My 2005 Ford Taurus accelerates on its own every so often," one driver
wrote. "When it accelerates, I try to brake the but the car vibrates very
badly and does not want to slow down."
Another driver said that, before getting the car to stop, the Taurus had
gone past a red light and partly into the intersection. NHTSA's report
mentions no crashes or injuries as a result of this possible problem.
A total of 360,000 cars could potentially be involved, according to NHTSA.
Once the investigation is completed, NHTSA will determine whether a full
recall is needed. | p********e
