Consumer Description

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ETC LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH AND MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 10 MPH. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET IN A SAFETY LANE. I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED A FEW TIMES, I WAS VERY SCARED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE PRODUCTION OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE, SOME OF THE VEHICLES HAVE LOW MILEAGE AND SOME DON'T. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP AND RECALL THIS THROTTLE BODY!
