Consumer Description

REPEATED FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. SINCE THE MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT 3 MONTHS AGO, THE CAR HAS STUTTERED WHEN ROUNDING TIGHTER CORNERS. NOW, THE CAR STALLS ON TIGHT CORNERS, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES LEADING TO A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. A CRASH WAS AVOIDED BY NEARBY VEHICLES WHEN THE CAR STALLED MID CORNER, SENDING THE CAR AND DRIVER INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE. THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER CONTINUES TO OFFER REPLACEMENT, BUT THE REPLACEMENTS QUICKLY WEAR CAUSING SIMILAR RESULTS. *NM
