Reported on Oct 03, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SEEMED TO START SHUTTING DOWN. I LOST SPEED AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGHT I WAS PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE WHOLE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY MAKING A SPUTTERING NOISE. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE, SLOW DOWN AND STOP TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP SHUDDERING UNTIL I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I WAITED 10 SECONDS, TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE MORE, ONE AT 30 MPH AND ONE AT 60 MPH AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN WE TOOK IT TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. | |
