Consumer Description

TRAVELING NORTH ON I-81 NEAR BRISTOL, VA. HAD CRUISE CONTROL ON, DRIVING IN LEFT LANE WHEN SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE COUGHED AND SPUTTERED AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND DRIFT OFF THE NEXT EXIT, THANK GOD! THE DEALER IN BRISTOL SAID IT WAS A THROTTLE PROBLEM AND WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THEY CALLED LATER TO SAY THEY HAD TO REPLACE A POWER HARNESS ALSO, AND IT WOULD BE $990.00. WHEN I FINALLY GOT THE CAR BACK THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT WORKING. *TR
