Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE LOST MOST OF ITS POWER, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WOULD NOT EVEN ACCELERATE TO 40 MPH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE THE MINIMUM SPEED IS 45 MPH. APPARENTLY, THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THAT ENGINE. I AM NOW PAYING $611 TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY THAT APPARENTLY IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM ON THIS ESSENTIALLY NEW CAR. *TR
