Consumer Description

THE SERVICE STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL, AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNINGS CAME ON AND THE CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER GOING AROUND A CURVE. I TEMPORARILY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE NEARLY CAUSING ME TO GET REAR ENDED BY A VEHICLE BEHIND ME. SINCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED THE CAR HAS BEEN VERY SLUGGISH AND UNSAFE TO OPERATE. I AM PLANNING TO GET THIS SERVICED ASAP. AFTER READING MANY FORUM POSTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE, I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW RAMPANT OF A PROBLEM THIS AND THAT IT IS USUALLY CAUSED BY A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THAT ISN'T COVERED IN THE 100K MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS FROM WHAT I HAVE READ BELIEVE THIS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY SOMEONE COULD VERY EASILY BE KILLED IF THEIR CAR LOSES POWER DUE TO THIS. *TR
