Consumer Description
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY I FIRST WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SUGGESTED THAT I CLEAN IT IT WAS DONE TWICE AS OF TODAY THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CALLING AND COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IN MY YEARS OF OWNING A VEHICLE I HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH A THROTTLE BODY I FIGURE THE WAY THIS CAR IDLING GOES IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT A STICK SHIFT BUT DRIVES LIKE ONE ALSO THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE SERVICE AND IT'S HAPPENING AFTER THE WARRANTY WHICH OR SHOULD I BE SURPRISED BUT OVERALL I THINK THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AND EXAMINED TO MAKE THIS CAR MORE BETTER (YES MORE BETTER) WHEN THE CAR IS STARING FOR THE FIRST TIME IT ISLES UP VERY LOUD THEN CALMS DOWN AFTER EACH START AFTERWARDS IT DRIVES SLOWER AND THE PERFORMANCE CHANGES NOW IT SEEMED SO STRANGE CAUSE OUT OF ALL THE VEHICLES I'VE OWNED I'VE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEMS PLUS IT'S NOT A HOT ROD.
