Consumer Description

TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS ON. DRIVING IT FELT A LITTLE BIT STRANGE BECAUSE IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT HAD GOOD POWER. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE AGAIN. DROVE ABOUT 5 MILES AND ONCE I GOT TO A PARKING GARAGE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE. PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS STICKING. THIS IS THE THIRD FAILURE OF THIS PART IN 33 MONTHS. PART WAS FIRST REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 2015. HAD A FAILURE OF THE PART THEY REPLACED IN JANUARY 2017 AND NOW A THIRD FAILURE OF THE SAME PART IN JUN 2018. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED EACH TIME THAT IT HAS FAILED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DEFECTIVE PART THAT ONLY LASTS FOR ABOUT 15-18 MONTHS. THERE WAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES PUT ON THE CAR BEFORE THIS PART FAILED IN JUNE 2018.
