| Description of the problem | I was driving over the bridge going 40 mph and i notice that the etc light came on. I attempted to turn off the vehicle, wait a few minutes and turn the vehicle back on. The etc light came back on. I had the vehicle towed to the repair facility and service advisor told me that my throttle body went out. The service advisor indicated that none of the dealerships have the part and none of the auto parts have an aftermarket. The service advisor indicated that there is a national back order of 18000 and they don? T know when i can get as part of my vehicle. I called jeep cac and they told me that there is nothing that they can do. This is the first time i owned a jeep vehicle and very upset. Of all the vehicles that i owned, i never heard that the dealership not having the part in stock. |
