Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR COMES TO A SUDDEN STOP AND ONLY ALLOWS ME TO GO 20-25 MPH. VERY UNSAFE. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 65MPH AND THEN ENGINE LOST POWER - SPEED DROPPED TO 20 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER IN TIME AVOID A HIGH SPEED COLLISION. THE SUDDEN ENGINE POWER LOSS HAPPENS GOING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS EVEN AS SLOW AS 30 MPH. THE RPM NEEDLE GOES UP AND DOWN. I HAVE HAD THE THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AT THE DEALER FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL, AND HAVE GOTTEN THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED AGAIN. *TR
