Consumer Description

FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PUMP AND VALVE EMISSION SYSTEM PROMPTED ENGINE TO RUN IN A REDUCED POWER MODE, AND THIS OCCURRED ON A ON A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE WITH BELOW AVERAGE MILEAGE. WHILE SETTING MAY PROTECT ENGINE, THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR VEHICLE WITHIN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. MY COMPLIANT IS NOT RELATED TO THE REDUCED DRIVING MODE THAT MAY HAVE PROTECTED THE ENGINE, BUT RATHER THE POOR DESIGN OF THE AIR-PUMP/VALVE SYSTEM THAT PREMATURELY FAILED CAUSING THE REDUCED POWER MODE.
