Description of the problem | While i was parking my car and braking the throttle opened wide and i jumped the curb. I reapplied the brakes hard and the car came to a stop after skidding 4 feet. (tire marks measured). I had the car towed to the dealer where they could find nothing wrong. In researching this problem it appears the electronic throttle system can at rare times have voltage problems that can cause this. My dealer could not replicate this but it has been done in a study by the korean national forensic service. Since all new cars have the same electronic throttle systems i am unable to buy a car that won |
