Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN SUDDENLY MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT LET ME ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED ON MY HAZARDS. A LITTLE WRENCH LIGHT POPPED UP, WHICH I LATER LOOKED UP AND REALIZED ITS THE THROTTLE BODY. I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT WENT AWAY. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH AND HAVE HAD NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR THE THROTTLE BODY TO BE FAILING ALREADY. *TT
