Consumer Description

AROUND 80,000 MILES MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AND APPEARED TO STAY IN 1ST GEAR (I DRIVE AN AUTOMATIC). LUCKILY, I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THE TRACTION LIGHT, AND A RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT TURN ON. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY, WIRING, AND A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY ENDED UP FAILING SHORTLY AFTER I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP.
