Consumer Description
AFTER A WEEKEND OF CAMPING I LOADED UP THE TRUCK AND WAS ON MY WAY HOME DOING APPROX 45-55 MPH. I STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND AS SOON AS I GET A GREEN I PROCEED TO ACCELERATE EXCEPT I HAVE NO ACCELERATION. I LOOKED DOWN AND SEE "SERVICE THROTTLE CONTROL". MY VEHICLE HAS NOW ENTERED LIMP MODE LEAVING ME TO DRIVE 120 MILES HOME ON THE INTERSTATE AT 15-25 MPH WITH VERY LIMITED ACCELERATION IF ANY. ALSO 3 WEEKS BEFORE THIS I HAD SPARATIC ACCELERATION AT STOPLIGHTS ALMOST AS IF MY TRUCK WANTED TO JUMP INTO THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. I DID NOT THINK TOO MUCH OF THIS AS IT ONLY HAPPENED A HAND FULL A TIME AND THOUGHT IT TO BE FUEL IN THE LINES BUT NOW THAT IVE DONE MY RESEARCH I NKOW THIS TO BE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND NEEDS ANSWERS.
