Description of the problem | While traveling on the local highway, the car lost power and started to shake. The service and check engine lights appeared on the dashboard. Luckily it was not rush hour and the traffic was light. After pulling off of the road, i was able to turn off the car and back on. The engine appeared to operate normally. The incident happened again a few miles later. This time the check engine light remained on after the restart. I was able to successfully drive the car to the local dealership. The dealer stated that the throttle body needed to be replaced. Luckily i have an extended warranty and it only cost me $100, unlike some of the other folks who have reported the same issue. This could have been much worse if the traffic was heavier or if i was unable to get to the side of the road quickly. |
