Consumer Description

AT ANY RANDOM MOMENT, THE CAR'S WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR EITHER DIES OR BEGINS TO RUN HORRIBLY. THIS CAN HAPPEN IN TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY - ACCELERATING OR ON CRUISE CONTROL - IT DOESN'T MATTER. TURNING THE CAR OFF (IF IT DIDN'T DIE) AND TURNING IT BACK ON, THE WRENCH LIGHT GOES OFF AND THE CAR RUNS AGAIN. CODE INDICATES A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC TWICE, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A CODE OR FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. THIS CAN REALLY BE A DANGEROUS ISSUE IF IT HAPPENS WHILE PASSING OR TURNING INTO AN INTERSECTION. ETC. *TR
