Description of the problem	The car would suddenly surge when i stepped on the gas peddle. This time it surged and i backed into my friends vehicle in my driveway. Estimated damge was $4000. 00 with both cars. After the body repair the check engine light came on for an hour then went off. This problem had been going on for over 6 months and the dealers i went said there was nothing they could do unless there was a engine light on. The code told them they had to repair the entire throttle body and censor. This was a very dangerous situation that i could do nothing about until the check engine light came on. Now the dealer had to also replace the steering chassis because it was defective. The car is still running rough and i am stuck with that until it send a check engine light.
