I bought a freelander 1 a couple of months ago. It is a V6 automatic and just lately when I use kick down it seems like the accelerator pedal gets stuck and the speed keeps increasing and I am unable to brake and slow down. The pedal stays down on the floor and won't come up. Anyone had this or any ideas how to fix this?
 
Ii would guess that the control rod between the cruise control actuator and the throttle cam has come adrift and is jamming the throttle open. I've seen this several times.
 
Thanks all for your suggestions. Hubby looked and said the throttle linkage was corroded and sticking.
