Consumer Description

DURING NORMAL DRIVING DURING 5PM TRAFFIC, THE CAR SHUDDERED, A WRENCH ICON CAME ON THE SCREEN, THE CAR LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME ON A 4 LANE ROAD WITH MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. AFTER PULLING OVER AND SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON 2-3 TIMES, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES TO DEALERSHIP. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEEMS TO THINK IT IS A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY.
