Consumer Description

MANY TIMES, EITHER AFTER A STOP OR LETTING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN TRYING TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, THE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE, AND I COULD NO LONGER ACCELARATE AND HAVE BEEN FORCED A FEW TIMES TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO PRESS DOWN. SOMETIMES WAITING FOR 5+ MINUTES FOR IT TO WORK. I HAD SOMEONE LOOK AT IT, IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. IT GETS BUILD UP IN IT AND CAN'T COMPRESS, SEEMS TO BE WORSE IN THE COOLER WEATHER (VS SUMMER). THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH TRAFFICE AROUND, AND I HAVE HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR WHEN ITS HAPPENED AND I GET NERVOUS IT'LL HAPPEN IN A SITUATION THAT I CAN'T PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A THROTTLE ON ANY OF MY OTHER CARS, NOR HAVE I KNOWN ANYONE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
