Description of the problem | Driving at highway speed of 55 mph vehicle shook and lost all power. Pressing gas pedal down had no effect on vehicle rpm or speed. Coasted to side of the road. Engine continued to run erratically. Shut engine off and waited a few minutes. Restarted vehicle, appeared to be fine. Throttle response normal. Resumed driving. After approx one mile same issue, complete loss of power at 55 mph! Attempted restart again and appeared normal. Drove 5 miles and issue happened again!. Attempted restart and appeared normal but this time the check engine light was illuminated. Pulled stored faulted code - p2111 throttle actuator control system stuck open. Lots of reports on web with same common problem. This part is clearly defective and should be recalled. Going to take to dealer for repair but will probably have to pay as car is outside the 3 yr warranty period. Part cost is ~$400 so not looking forward to this bill. Losing engine power control at highway speeds has a very great potential to cause an accident and it is only a matter of time before this defective part is responsible for killing someone. Please issue a recall asap!! |
