NHTSA Complaint #10648198 — 2011 DODGE CALIBER

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55-60MPH WHEN LIGHTS ON MY DASH CAME ON AND MY RPM DROPPED DRASTICALLY. ALL OF THE SUDDEN I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND MY CAR LOST SPEED ALMOST INSTANTLY. THE FIRST INCIDENT I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. THIS ISSUE CONTINUED A FEW TIMES AFTER AND FINALLY IT CAUSED ANOTHER VEHICLE TO HIT THE REAR BUMPER OF MY CAR. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR INJURY SINCE WE WERE AT A SLOW SPEED BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE. I HAD MY CAR TO DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN I TOOK IT AND THEY SAID MY THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 79,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD,D GO BAD THAT FAST. *TR
