Consumer Description
WHILE GETTING OFF OF PM SHIFT, AROUND 2330, I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ONLY 3 MILES INTO DRIVING. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 15 MILES AN HOUR IN A 40MPH ZONE. THE LIGHTNING BOLT FOR ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL WAS FLASHING, THEN STOPPED, THEN MY CHECK ENGINE AND MY ANTI SKID(?) WAS LIT UP. I PULLED OVER TO A SIDE STREET, PUT IN PARK ONLY TO HAVE MY ENGINE IDLE AT 2K RPM. THANK GOODNESS I HAD MY PHONE AND A FRIEND WITH SOME CAR KNOWLEDGE. TOLD ME TO LEAVE IN PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. TURNED ON AND ONCE I SHIFTED OUT OF PARK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. HE STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME FOR THE REST OF MY DRIVE HOME THAT TOOK ME 45MIN BECAUSE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ANY FASTER THAN 15. A DRIVE THAT USUALLY WOULD TAKE ME 15 MINUTES TOOK MUCH LONGER. GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE CAR BECAUSE I ALMOST GOT HIT 2X BY 18 WHEELERS COMING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. NOT TO MENTION IT WAS ONLY 27 DEGREES OUT (WITHOUT THE CHICAGO WIND CHILL)AND WOULD HAVE HAD TO WAIT PROBABLY 30+ MINUTES FOR A TOW OR RIDE TO PICK ME UP HAD IT NOT RESTARTED. BEYOND LIVID THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND NOTHING BEING DONE. GOING TO HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS FIX, RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AWESOME!
