Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE HWY 485 TOWARD AIRPORT WHEN I HEARD A SUDDEN SOUND IN MY DASHBOARD. IT WAS A ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT) AND THE ESC (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT) THAT CAME OUT AND, MY TEMPERATURE CONTROL GAUGE NEEDLE DROPPED FROM MI-RANGE TO ZERO. I SLOW DOWN THE CAR PULLED IT ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY SO I CAN CHECK TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW WAS A HEAVY SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE HOOD AND THAT WAS IT.
