Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL (THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, JUST NOT AS BAD) AND MY CAR STOPPED RESPONDING. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ON A REALLY BUSY ROAD, SO I HAD TO PRAY THAT I WOULD NOT GET HIT. I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND TRIED TO RESTART IT, BUT IT DID NOT WANT TO RESTART. I SAT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS (PROBABLY 6-8 TIMES) ON MY 12 MILE TRIP HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THIS MORNING AND FOUND OUT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. I JUST LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, AND THAT THE DEALERSHIPS (WHEN THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY) ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WRONG. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! I DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY NOW, AND I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS UP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT MULTIPLE TIMES!!!! *TR
