| Description of the problem | Vehicle power suddenly shutdown while driving down the freeway. After pulling to the side of the road, engine would only idle. Engine would not rev up to a higher rpms. Vehicle required towing to a repair center. The following 2 issues were found: 1. Throttle body needed replaced. 2. Fuel pump electrical circuit was heat damaged. The repair center told me they are starting to see more of these type of issues on these vehicles. The repair center moved this circuit away from the heat source causing the damage. This appears to be a design issue which could pose a safety problem. A recall should be issued for this problem. |
