| Description of the problem | While driving in construction (55mph) going to work in morning rush, the esc off light came on and there was loss of acceleration. I turned the emergency flashers on and coasted to a stop, but there was nowhere to get off the road. Cars started swerving around me and one car almost hit a divider wall. I shut the engine off and restarted 3 times before i could get going again. It happened twice again within a 2 mile distance all in the construction area. Research showed the tps is defective and needs replaced and reprogrammed. This is a dangerous problem. Somebody could be killed. |
