Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WHEN THE CAR SLOWED ALMOST TO A STOP AND STARTED MAKING A JERKING MOTION. I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH POWER TO STAY IN TRAFFIC SO I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE AND SHUT IT OFF. BY THIS TIME THE WRENCH SIGNAL CAME ON THE DASH. I STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT SEEMED OK SO I DROVE IT TO A NEARBY GARAGE MY MECHANIC OWNS. IT SLOWED DOWN AGAIN AND STARTED JERKING ON THE WAY. I SHUT IT OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND DROVE 2 MORE BLOCKS TO THE GARAGE. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THEIR COMPUTER AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE SENSOR. IT WORKS FINE AGAIN AFTER A BILL OF $455.68. *TR
