Consumer Description

I HAD OIL CHANGED THAT MORNING. THAT NIGHT, WHILE DRIVING, "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAC" LIGHTS CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 15 MPH. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN. IT WAS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN ONE WEEK AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES EVERYDAY SINCE. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE ADDRESSING THIS SAME ISSUE AND STATING THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! IMAGINE TRAVELING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND YOU LOSE POWER TO YOUR ENGINE! THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR
