| Description of the problem | August 2012 - driving approximately 35 mph and the vehicle suddenly jerked and the safe mode light and engine light turned on and i could no longer accelerate. Put car in neutral, then stopped, put it in park. Turned engine off, then waited a couple of minutes and tried again. It started, but after accelerating past 10 mph, it did the same thing. After 3 attempts, the vehicle went back to normal driving condition. The engine light went out on its own. July 2013 - driving on the highway with cruise control set to 64 mph, same thing happened but was quite scary because we were on the highway which was busy and we had to get over to the shoulder and then once we were attempting to accelerate, we had to try to merge with busy traffic. The engine light is on so we were able to have the issue diagnosed and it is a faulty throttle body that needs replaced. |
