Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN THE SNOW AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH WHEN THE CAR DECELERATED TO APPROX 20 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE SUV STARTED SHAKING AND THE REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE POP UP WAS DISPLAYED. THE DEALER IS REPLACING THE THROTTLE SENSOR DUE TO A SHORT. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME AS GOING FROM 65 TO 20 WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THIS LIMP HOME/FALLBACK MODE SEEMS SORT OF ILL CONCEIVED ESPECIALLY ON ROADS ABOVE 30 MPH. *JS
