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.
When I start the vehicle the headlights will start flashing after 10 minutes and continue to do so until the headlights are turned on. At this point the headlights stop flashing, however, there is a complete loss of all dash lights making night driving very difficult
