The throttle body on our 1997 GMC Safari came apart sending pieces into the engine and failing in a wide open throttle condition that was not controllable by the driver. This occurred when the driver entered the freeway and the car accelerated through 85 miles per hour without any depression of the accelertor. The driver had to continuously apply brake pressure to keep speed somewhat under control. The only means to control the engine was to turn it off.
