| Description of the problem | Passing another vehicle when my car suddenly stalled. If it wasn't for the quick thinking of the car i was passing, who sped up, i would have not had time to pull back into my lane in time to avoid a collision with an oncoming car. I had to pull off the road and put the car in park and restart it. It ran fine after that. Unfortunately, this stalling and rough running has happened on several occasions. From what i have read, it looks to be a problem with the throttle body. As you can see, this can be very dangerous when it happens at the wrong time. I never know when it will happen as there is no warning. |
