Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. IT FLASHED THEN STAYED ON. MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T GO PAST 30MPH. I TOOK IT TO BE LOOKED AT AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET. THE ELECTRICAL THROTTLE LIGHT AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON. MY VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE PAST 30MPH. IF I HAVE TO STOP IT WON'T GO PAST 10MPH UNTIL I'M OVER HALF WAY DOWN A BLOCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES NOW ON HIGHWAYS AND STREETS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS JUST FLASH AND GO OFF. NOW THE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE ON, WITHOUT ANY MOTION.
