| Description of the problem | Was going about 70 mph around topeka kansas when the vehicle lurched, then the esc, engine and chassis lights flashed. Immediately afterwards the car lost all propulsion. Fortunately i was by an off-ramp, but could of gotten in an accident which such a sudden deceleration. Managed to get to an autozone store to check the fault. The fault came up as the throttle position sensor (tps). Managed to get it to the dealership in topeka. They fixed in within 10 minutes, but after completing my trip back to colorado noticed the car is lurching again in lower speed, in-town traffic... Very dangerous!!! Will be contacting the dealership in colorado on monday morning!! Had a similar problem two years ago, took it into the dealership and they said they couldn't find a problem with it. Guess they won't be satisfied until the warranty period ends and someone gets killed. |
