Consumer Description

IN THIS INCIDENT, BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF THE CAR WOULD SURGE WITH POWER FORCING MY CAR TO THRUST FORWARD WITHOUT CONTROL, PERHAPS CERTAIN TIMES UP TO ANYWHERE FROM A FEW INCHES TO A COUPLE FEET. AFTER THIS HAPPENS FOR A LITTLE WHILE THE CAR TURNS OFF AND THE SYSTEM READS FAILSAFE ENGINE MODE. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND I JUST RECEIVED THE ESTIMATE OF AROUND $850 TO FIX THIS UNSAFE WORKING VEHICLE DUE TO ITS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONING. LUCKILY NO PEOPLE WERE CLOSE TO MY CAR ANY OF THE TIMES THE CAR WAS RANDOMLY ACCELERATING. *KB
