I drive a 2007 Hummer H2, a truck I generally like the look and feel of. However, their throttle design leaves a bit to be desired.
There is no drive by wire, it's two throttle position sensors in the pedal and throttle body. It measures voltage and opens the throttle a set distance for the voltage. Seems simple enough, right? If there is a difference in voltage between the two sensors though, it shuts the engine down, so if there's a short it doesn't assume WOT, and run away on you. Seems simple enough for a safety feature.
Except I was driving down the road at 50mph going down a long hill when this happened. When this happens, you lose the ability to break or steer. I shifted to neutral real quick to try and restart, but the issue persisted through several attempts. Finally it kicked over with reduced engine power, and I was able to safely pull over to a side road out of traffic.
I can't understand who thought it was a good idea to just kill the engine when this scenario occurs. I'd prefer my regular wire throttle, thank you. And I can't just get the sensor, have to buy the whole new throttle body as it's one piece.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
