Consumer Description

WE WERE DRIVING ALONG AT A STEADY PACE OF 60 MPH ALL OF SUDDEN THERE WAS A SHUDDER FELT BY EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE AND THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND DROPPED SPEED VERY QUICKLY, AND ALSO MAKING A JERKING MOTION. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND US, WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. POPPED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. WE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON AND THE VEHICLE RAN JUST FINE. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE FOUND THAT THIS IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE SOMEONE WAS BEHIND US, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AS WE WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
