Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY SURGE/HESITATE AND STALLS AT LOW REVS. THIS STARTED MAYBE ABOUT HALF A YEAR AGO AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE WITH THE PROBLEMS EVEN AT HIGH REVS. THE PROBLEM CULMINATED ON MAY 17TH 2009 OR THERE ABOUT WHEN I NEARLY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE MIDDLE AT ABOUT 60 MPH AND THERE WAS A SLOWER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I ACCELERATED TO TRY TO PASS THE VEHICLE ON THE FAST LANE. THE VEHICLE DID PICK UP AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT ON A LIMP MODE EVEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. MY VEHICLE WAS ALMOST JUST SIDE BY SIDE TO THE SLOWER VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE NEXT THING I HEARD WAS A LOUD CONTINUOUS HORNING AND SCREECHING OF BRAKES OF A CAR BEHIND ME ON THE FAST LANE.. THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND PERFORM SERVICE WELL ABOVE AS WHAT MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED. BASED ON VARIOUS INFO. SOURCES, THE PROBLEM IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO CAR THAT HAS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE MODULE PROBLEM. *TR
