Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES REDUCE SPEEDS ON ITS OWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL DROP TO 2ND GEAR. THE SEVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL FLASH AND THE DASH WILL READ TRACTION CONTROL OFF. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL ALSO MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES CORRECT ITSELF AND RETURN TO NORMAL DRIVING OR IT HAS TO BE TURNED OFF TO RESET. SOME FORUM USERS SUGGEST REPLACING THE THROTTLE DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP. THIS IS CAN CAUSE CONFUSION WITH A DRIVER WHICH MAY RESULT IN A COLLISION.
