Consumer Description

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE AFFECTED VEHICLE'S THROTTLE BODY FAILED, CAUSING SEVER SHAKING, REVVING OF THE ENGINE TO APPROXIMATELY 1500 RPM, AND EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE ITSELF FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. IT PROPELLED, OUT OF MY CONTROL, APPROXIMATELY 3 FEET FORWARD. HAD I NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THIS WAS OCCURRING, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE TRAVEL FURTHER, OUT OF MY CONTROL. HAD SOMEONE BEEN IN FRONT OF ME AT THE INTERSECTION, OR IF I HAD NOT PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM ENTERING THE INTERSECTION, A VEHICULAR COLLISION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, PER THE DEALERSHIP WORK ORDER, WAS "THROTTLE BODY INTERNAL INTERMITTENT SHORT." *TR
