Consumer was pulling into the driveway. There was tight pulling & grinding noise in the throttle. Vehicle was put in park before pressing down on the throttle again & the cable snapped. Dealer said cable was busted off the accelerator pedal which controlled throttle of the vehicle. Recall #97V22500O. Dealer stated wrong part was put on that was why it broke. Dealer repaired the problem, but fixed it temporarily. Correct cable still needs to be put on to rectify & complete the problem. The traction is now off. The consumer has been waiting 2 1/2 weeks for the dealer to get the correct part in from Ford.
