Back in the day my 65 396 impala 4spd would break a motor mount & the gas pedal would go to the floor,the dealer fix for that was a steel cable on the drivers side conecting the motor to the frame. It also happened to me on my old 68 427 4spd vette,I fixed that myself usen a chain atached from the motor to the frame.Fortunately Ididn't have any accidents but it was a wild ride !!! The 87 Sunbird I had was recalled for potential engine compartment fires & so was my 86 Fiero,so im kinda use to recalls. I only posted the recalls I experianced ,Im sure theres many,many more.If it happens in the Vibe I'll just drop it in N or turn off the key.

65 396 4spd Impala, nothing like lugging over 2 tones of steel in absolute style. I have heard of the old V8's snapping mounts right off the showroom floor. God I need to get my car done.The truck had a bad cable that if I put the foot to the floor the cable would lock the throttle full open. Just shut off the motor and coast. Unfortunately, in a panic situation not everyone thinks this way. An ex-girlfriend in highschool had a Chevette throttle hang in a parking lot. Fortunately, it was a Chevette so it did not accelerate overly fast but it did do about $200.00 damage when she hit a cement divider.
