AS I PROCEEDED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE, THROTTLE STUCK WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN PASSING GEAR. DUE TO HIGH ENGINE RPM, VACUUM ASSISTANCE OF THE BRAKES WAS LOST AS WELL. THIS ALL OCCURED WHILE DESCENDING A LONG HILL WITH A STEEP CURVE AT THE BOTTOM. ALTHOUGH I WAS STANDING HARD ON THE BRAKES, I KEPT GAINING SPEED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL RESULTED IN EXCESSIVE RPM, SO I HAD TO SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE GEAR TO KEEP FROM BLOWING THE ENGINE. WHEN THE SITUATION WAS GETTING CRITICALLY DANGEROUS(CURVE LOOMING AHEAD AND STILL GAINING SPEED), AND WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION (MY LAST REMAINING OPTION), THE THROTTLE FINALLY RELEASED. AT ONE POINT, MY SPEED WAS APPROX. 60 MPH, ALTHOUGH I WAS STANDING ON THE BRAKES. AT THIS POINT, I HAVEN'T YET DETERMINED WHETHER THE CAUSE IS ELECTRONIC OR MECHANICAL. MY SUSPICION IS A FAULT IN THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DO KNOW IT SCARED ME AND IS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. WILL NOTIFY IF I CAN DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

BACK LIGHT BULB THAT IS LOCATED CENTER OF TOP CAB IS SO STRONG THAT IT IS MELTING THE PLASTIC, AND CAUSING A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. *AK

BRAKES HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND PROPERLY ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE MOST RECENT WAS 10/1/99 AND NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT . VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, SLIDE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAREND ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO EXCESSIVE SPEND!

WE HAVE PAID NEARLY $1,000 FOR THESE REPAIRS. THERE ARE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS AND RECALL NOTICES FOR SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS.
