Accelerator or throttle hangs up from dead stop, causing the vehicle to lunge upon acceleration - fuel gauge goes to full mark will not move until fuel tank is almost empty - engine has a sound like the valves are rattling after vehicle has set for 30 minutes or more - vehicle has a bad miss in the engine as if it will stop running this is intermittent most noticeably on inclement days - exhaust has a loud hum at 35 to 45 mph and any time you accelerate to pass or merge into traffic.( dot number: 029056 tire size: P22570R16 )

Accelerator pedal sticks during acceleration from idle. This causes "jack rabbit" acceleration once pedal lets loose. Very dangerous problem in bumper to bumper traffic. Lubricated external throttle linkage without success. Problem seems to be internal where linkage meets engine component.

While driving on a slight incline let foot off accelerator and vehicle continued to accelerate. Dealer worked on it, and replaced cruise control cable and throttle body. Also, driver's side power windows work intermittently up and down. Dealer replaced switch and motor.
