Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING MY ESC POPPED ON MY MESSAGE BOARD ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REDUCED ENGINE SPEED. SO I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY THROTTLE SENSOR. SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON AND IT STOPS THE MESSAGES FROM POPPING UP FOR ABOUT 5 MINS. THE CAR WON'T IDLE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF. NOW NORMALLY I WOULDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT BUT TO GO GET IT FIXED. ME AND MY MOM HAVE THE SAME MALIBU SHE JUST HAD THE LT EDITION WELL HERS STARTED DOING THE SAME EXACT THING! YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT BOTH OF THESE CARS WAS JUST GONNA START DOING THE SAME THING AT THE EXACT SAME TIME! *TR
