Consumer Description

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES THROTTLE CONTROL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS; THE ENGINE RETURN TO "IDLE SPEED". I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN BUT THE CAR REFUSED TO ACCELERATE. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER AND STOP THE ENGINE. AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEMED TO WORK OK FOR A WHILE AND THEN DID IT AGAIN. I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE DEALER AND IT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE WHILE THEY TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR; THE THROTTLE BODY CONTAINS THE ELECTRIC ACTUATOR FOR THE THROTTLE AND THE SENSORS THAT TELL THE COMPUTER THE POSITION OF THE THROTTLE. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT COULD SUDDENLY "CUT OUT" AND LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR
