Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STARTING SPUTTERING; THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TOOL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN DECELERATING AND I HAD TO COAST TO MEDIAN. I SAT FOR AWHILE AND CRANKED UP TO COAST TO SAFE SIDE OF ROAD. REPAIRMAN SAID IT APPEARED TO BE SOMETHING IN THE ACCELERATOR SYSTEM/THROTTLE SYSTEM. THOUGHT IT NEEDED A NEW PART BUT ENDED UP CLEANING THE THROTTLE AND OTHER PARTS. IT DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS UNTIL SATURDAY AND IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A STORE PARKING LOT AFTER GETTING OFF INTERSTATE SAFELY. NOW THE REPAIRMAN HAS IT AND SAYS IT IS CHECKING OUT OKAY; DRIVING FINE WITH NO CUT OFF ISSUES. THIS CAR SCARES ME AND DON'T WANT TO DRIVE ANYMORE.. *TR
