If the transmission shift cable detaches, the transmission gear selection may not match the indicated gear and the vehicle may move in an unintended or unexpected direction, increasing the risk of a crash.

IN ADDITION THE RED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CAR ACCELERATOR NO LONGER RESPONDED BUT LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IF TRAFFIC WERE HEAVIER (WHICH IT NORMALLY IS IN MY AREA) I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A HIGH-SPEED COLLISION. ONCE I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PRESSED THE BRAKES, THERE WAS A VERY LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATION FELT IN THE SEATS AND BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED, I TURNED IT OFF, CHECKED THE BRAKES FOR LEAKS. I ALSO CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, NOT ALARM. EVERYTHING CLEARED UP. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. FOR NOW THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE-WAY.
