Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP 3 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAD 41,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE SINCE DRIVEN AN ADDITIONAL 3,000. THIS MORNING AS I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE 'ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL' LIGHT CAME ON AND CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL TWICE. THE HIGHEST SPEED I WAS ABLE TO GO WAS 30 MPH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I WAS IN MOTION ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED TO HAVE CHECKED THE CAR ENTIRELY FOR PROBLEMS YET I AM HAVING TO CARRY IT BACK FOR MAINTENANCE. I READ ANOTHER COMPLAINT ON THIS DISCUSSION FROM EARLIER IN THE WEEK WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
