Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT HAS OCCURRED TWICE. THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE SYSTEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE NOT HAD IT HAPPEN TO ME YET. I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTOZONE AND THEY READ THE STORED CODES FROM THE OBD SYSTEM WHICH INDICATED THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR HAD GENERATED A FAULT. THE FAULT SEEMS TO GO AWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE IS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. IT SEEMS TO GO AWAY BY SHUTTING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR. THIS SEEMS TO BE A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE YOU COULD GET REAR ENDED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR
