Consumer Description

WITH UNDER 10K MILES ON THIS CAR, WE DROVE AN HOUR TO A BASEBALL GAME, THEN FOUND WHEN WE STARTED IT BACK UP, IT WAS ON REDUCED POWER. TURNED OUT TO BE THE THROTTLE BODY THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. TODAY, WITH UNDER 17K MILES, MY WIFE WAS PICKING THE CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL, AND IT LOST POWER AND SAID "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AGAIN. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.
