Consumer Description

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH ENGINE COMPUTER KEPT IT FROM ACCELERATING. IT WOULD SUDDENLY ONLY IDLE OUT FROM A STOP. IF YOU WERE TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC YOU COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD BE HIT OR CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TO SWERVE TO AVOID YOU. IT TOOK THE DEALER 7 MONTHS TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND REPLACE THE ECU. IT BECAME OBVIOUS AFTER REPLACEMENT THAT IT HAD BEEN BAD SINCE DAY ONE AND GRADUALLY GOT WORSE SINCE ALL ACCELERATION HESITATION WENT AWAY. THIS UNIT QUICKLY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALSO.
