Description of the problem | At 27,900 miles the plastic gears in the throttle body failed, causing an unexpected loss of power while in traffic and climbing a hill. I did my research and learned that this issue has existed since 2007 with no permanent solution. This manifests itself as an intermittent loss of power until the electronic throttle control instrument panel light comes on at which point i took it to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body. There is an excellent video by motor city mechanic on youtube that explains this issue in detail. It's only a matter of time before one of these fails at speed and someone is killed. |
