Description of the problem | I am guessing at the "component selection" above. I was driving 30 mph in a neighborhood; car pitched or lunged forward; wrench light came on panel; rpm's dropped; car slowed down and pressing gas pedal did no good; car was still running; car coasted to a stop. Waited for help to come. Restarted car, it went about 1/2 mile and did the same thing; took to dealership. They checked it out and could not replicate the problem and returned it to me; within ten minutes and 5 miles, it happened again in the same sequence as described above except i was going 50 mph on a busy hilly two lane state highway. Took it back to dealership they said it was the throttle body or throttle rail. I am scared to drive it once, or if, it is repaired; still haven't received car back and parts on back order! Internet search lead me to numerous occurrences exactly like mine and some were temporary fix that led to other problems with the throttle and transmission. |
