| Description of the problem | The throttle body. I was entering the highway went to accelerate and it would not move just stuttered. A mack truck was speeding along luckily there was no one in the high-speed lane so he could swerve around me and beep at me i had to drive to the next exit doing 20mph in the breakdown lane and get it to my garage which was two towns over. Every time i had to stop at a light then accelerate it would stutter and only go to 20mph. The throttle light would come on then go off. I brought it to the garage and they had to order the part from far away because no place close to us had it due to high demand which leads me to believe this is an ongoing problem. I googled the problem and it seems widespread i am not sure why a recall was not issued peoples lives are at stake. I almost threw up in my car after the mack truck passed me and i realized i could of been killed. I paid $610. 37 to get my car repaired so i am not sure if the expense of the part is the issue but again i could of been killed as could of a lot of others that i read about. |
