Description of the problem | For the 3rd time my wife's car esc light and check engine light came on as the vehicle speed came to almost a stop. This is very dangers for up hill or in heavy traffic. She also had previous problems with the esc light and tps light coming on. Taken to dealer several times over the last year. We were told today it was a throttle sensor problem. It was replaced today and hopefully that fixes the problem, although i see on the internet where this is a common occurring problem. I hope someone does not have to get hurt before this is a recall issue. |
