Consumer Description

VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTARTED AND AS DRIVING HOME, VEHICLE TRIES TO ACCELARATE ITSELF WHILE CAR IS IDLING. HAD I NOT HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE, IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF. TOOK IN FOR REPAIRS AND DEALER STATES THAT THROTTLE BODY IS BAD AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE VEHICLES. ADVISED THAT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS VEHICLE CAN LOSE POWER WITHOUT WARNING.
