Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK TODAY I LOST ALL POWER AND NOTICED A RED LIGHTING BOLT ON THE DASH. I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE BUT COULD NOT GOING MORE THEN 1600 RPM'S. I PULLED OVER AND KILLED THE ENGINE. WHEN I STARTED IT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AND LATER FOUND OUT THE LIGHTING BOLT WAS THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL THROTTLE BODY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT $550 TO INSTALL IT OR $330 FOR A NEW PART. READING FORUMS I SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE THERE ARE LITTLE PLASTIC GEARS THAT GET STRIPPED. I FOUND A PLACE ON LINE FOR $180 AND WILL REPLACE IT BUT I THINK IT IS DISAPPOINTING THAT I AM REPLACING THIS PART WHEN I ONLY HAVE 60K MILES ON IT. *TR
