A lack of clearance between the engine cover and the speed control cable connector meant the throttle could get stick open when the accelerator was fully depressed. Following a petition from the Center for Auto Safety, NHTSA opened an investigation and eventually issued a recall to fix the sticky throttles in the 2001–2004 model years.
Even with the throttles fixed, the 2001 model year could still have trouble stopping due to multiple problems with leaking brakes.
AC went out sometime in the Spring. Rode with the windows down, but I live in the hot desert of southern Utah. Went to get more Freon, it leaked. They patched up the compressor, it leaked. Got new pipes for the Freon, still leaked. The best solution was a complete AC rebuild, and I haven't had a problem since.
