This happened some time ago but I recently read of an investigation that you have undertaked and decided that this may be relevant. I also have seen service bulletins for this issue. While driving, the accelerator cable became detached from the accelerator and I lost all acceleration while traveling at 65 mph on a freeway in morning traffic. It seems that this should rise to the level of a recall. Fortunately, I was able to pull into the regular lane of traffic and then to the berm before the vehicle came to a complete stop and before I was rear ended by the vehicle behind me. Since there is deceleration without brake lights, this is a very hazardous situation. When I arrived at the dealership with the wrecker, the service department employee advised me that the cable was installed wtihout a clip and that the manufacturerer was aware of the potential defect but had not recalled the vehicles for this problem.

The accelerator cable broke in half, which caused the gears to stick.
