Consumer Description
AS I WAS DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING AND THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL RESPONDED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A SHORT WHILE BEFORE IT FAILED AGAIN. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. I REPEATED THIS CYCLE UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE CODES INDICATED A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED THE PART IS ON BACKORDER AND WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS, WHICH MEANS I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR (THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL DUE TO BACKORDERED PARTS). THIS IS NOW VERY INCONVENIENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALREADY COMPLETELY REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE AT AROUND 30K MILES, ALONG WITH A FAILED POWER WINDOW MOTOR, REAR GLASS HATCH SEALS, ETC. *TR
