Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING OUT OF WORK ONTO A BUSY STREET WHEN CAR WENT INTO IDLE MODE BECAUSE OF THE THROTTLE BODY DRIVE BY WIRE SYSTEM.THERE WAS NO INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG OR ABOUT TO GO WRONG. GOD WAS REALLY LOOKING OUT FOR ME ON THIS PARTICULAR DAY BECAUSE THE CARS THAT WERE ON THIS BUSY ROAD WASN'T IN A HURRY LIKE THEY NORMALLY ARE AND I AVOIDED A (T-BONE)COLLISION. IT REALLY SCARED ME AND I HAVEN'T DROVE THE CAR ANYMORE AND IT'S FOR SALE. I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AND I WILL TELL WHOEVER BUYS THE CAR WHAT HAPPENED UPFRONT. I'M NOT WILLING TO RISK IT DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I SWITCHED THE KEY OFF AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND DROVE IT 40 MILES HOME WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS AND IT WILL NEVER BE DRIVEN BY ME AGAIN.
