| Description of the problem | While driving at approximately 58 mph on 7/20/13 the wrench light came on, the car lost power. The car was still running but there was no reaction in power when pushing on gas pedal. Pulled the car over, put in park, it was still running, with a slight shake, turned car off waited several minutes before starting. When started the car ran fine and the light was off. Two days later, 7/22/13, this happened again while i was making a turn from a stop sign. Same thing pulled over, restarted, light was off, drove fine. Few days later, 7/25/13, car went in for oil change and tire rotation and i had them see what they could find out. Up until this point the car has ran fine, no issues, and i love the car. I was informed that it was a throttle body issue and is on back order for one-two months. I then drive the car with no issues for several days. Once again on 7/30/13 the same thing happens this time at about 35 mph, is fine once started back up. Same thing on 8/1/13. On 8/4/13 i was on my way home going approximately 55 mph and this happens, i was able to get off to the side of the road quick enough that it didn't interfere with the traffic behind me. I got down the road and was trying to turn onto my road and this happens again and i am now in middle of lane for oncoming traffic, i manage to get it going and finish turn just for it to happen again and i was almost rear ended by person turning onto road. I then let the car sit for several hours before i had to run an errand, i was only able to make it three houses down before this happened again. This is an extreme safety issue, i am luck in that i live in a rural area, but there is enough traffic or when going to work, that this could cause a bad accident causing injury not only to myself or another driver but to the children in my car. |
