Reported on July 29, 2013
| AFTER ACCELERATING TO 30 MY CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO USE THE FOOT PEDAL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED RUNNING BUT WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, SHUT THE CAR OFF WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND THEN STARTED THE CAR. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL AUGUST 15TH WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED 4 TIMES. ONCE WITH IN 30 MINUTES AT A SPEED US 40 TO 55. THE 3RD AND 4TH TIMES OCCURRED WITHIN MINUTES OF EACH OTHER AT 55 MPH IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. ON ALL OCCASIONS THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. ON AUGUST 17TH I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED. THAT COST ME $500 OUT OF POCKET SINCE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR | |
