Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CARS SPEED SUDDENLY DECREASED AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER SAFELY AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. LIGHT REMAINED ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY MUST BE REPLACED. THE WHOLE THING MUST BE REPLACED SINCE IT'S COMPLETELY SEALED AND YOU CANNOT ACCESS PARTS INSIDE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED AND THEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30MPH. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70000 MILES ON IT. DID SOME CHECKING ONLINE AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH CALIBERS. *TR
