Consumer Description

DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION AFTER A LEFT TURN, SHIFTING FROM 1ST INTO 2ND GEAR, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WILDLY AND VIOLENTLY ROCKED SIDE TO SIDE AND LOST POWER. THIS WAS THE SECOND IDENTICAL OCCURRENCE ON CITY STREETS WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF LEFT TURNS. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, HAD TO MAKE IMMEDIATE MOVES TO THE RIGHT LANE BEFORE POWER WAS RESTORED. BASED ON OTHER REPORTING AND RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE OF THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS 18,500 MILES AND HAS A MT-82 TRANSMISSION.
