Consumer Description

BOTH THROTTLE BODY ACTUATORS HAVE SUFFERED CRUMBLING OF THE WIRE INSULATIONS, LEADING TO A PORTION OF THE CAR TO BE HEATED UP SO MUCH THAT THE HOOD PAD CAUGHT FIRE. LUCKILY I ALWAYS CARRY AN EXTINGUISHER AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IT OUT BEFORE ANY INJURIES OR ANY MORE INCIDENTS HAPPENED. *TR
