The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an investigation into whether more than 300,000 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable vehicles have “sticky” throttles that can cause unintended acceleration.  The agency believes that throttles are sticking at 26-percent open due to a fractured speed-control cable. No recall has been issued as of yet.  For defective car and product information, contact the McAleer Law Firm.
