Consumer Description

DRIVING MY VEHICLE, OUT OF NO WHERE REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE CAME ACROSS MY DASHBOARD INFORMATION CENTER. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY REDUCED ITS SPEED AND ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE ABOUT 20MPH (I WAS SO THANKFUL I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND/OR HAD PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE). IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW, WITH THE EXPLANATION THAT THE ACCELERATOR CIRCUIT BOARD NEEDS TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER IT IS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY ARE NOT CERTAIN WHEN THE PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. SO I AM NOT EVEN SURE HOW TO PLAN MOVING FORWARD ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS A CAR-NOTE BUT I CANNOT REPAIR BECAUSE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. FROM READING THE COMPLAINTS THIS PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER.
