Consumer Description

CAR GOES INTO DEFERRED ENGINE POWER. REPLACED THROTTLE BODY 3 TIMES. THE CAR STARTS TO VIBRATE AND THEN SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVER AND COULD GET KILLED. WE HAVE CHECKED ENGINE LEAKS, SENSORS, ETC. THE CAR WILL DRIVE OKEY FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND THEN STARTS TO VIBRATE AND SHUTS DOWN AND STOPS. I HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE WHILE, SOMETIMES IT WILL START UP AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT. I CANNOT DRIVE LONG DISTANCES OR AT NIGHT FOR FEAR THE CAR WILL JUST STOP. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY JUST SAY, GET A NEW VETTE, THEY DO NOT TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. NOR DO THEIR TECHNICIANS KNOW HOW TO WORK ON A VETTE. THEY HAVE HAD THE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM IN A NOTEBOOK. ONE TECH LEFT HIS NOTES IN MY CAR. IF A DOCTOR HAD TO TAKE OUT HIS NOTES TO SEE HOW TO DO A SURGERY, I WOULDN'T GO TO HIM. WOULD YOU? '
