Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED TO DECELERATED AND WOULD NOT REGAIN POWER AND THEN THE ( ETC ) LIGHT CAME ON. WITH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, I HAD TO GO UP A HILL TO GET IT BACK TO MY CAR AND MY CAR JUST KEPT GETTING SLOWER AND SLOWER TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS AFRAID I WAS GOING TO START DRIFTING BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IF THAT HILL WAS ANY BIGGER THEN I WOULD HAVE NOT MADE IT OVER IT. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, AFTER REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS. *TR
