Consumer Description

NOW LOOKING BACK THE WARNING SIGNS WERE WHEN PUT IN REVERSE WOULD ROUGHLY KICK BACK . THEN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 50MPH, THERE WAS A JOLT AND AN "ENGINE FAULT,SERVICE NOW" MESSAGE APPEARED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I NOTICED THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND COULD NOT GO OVER 30MPH. I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH THIS BEFORE AFFECTING YEARS 2008-2013, BUT NO RECALL WAS EVER MADE. VERY SURPRISED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED YET AND STILL OCCURRING IN 2016 VEHICLES.
