Description of the problem | My wife was driving with my daughter, mother and sister at approx. 40mph. In traffic, when the car apparently went into fail safe mode and bogged down the engine to where she could not accelerate or maneuver the car out of traffic. She finally was able to get out of harms way and pulled of into a parking lot. From there she turned the car off, and started the car and proceeded to baby the accelerator so she was able to return several miles home. From there, i took the car around the block and accelerated quickly where the car returned to fail safe mode and cut the engine. I checked the car with an obdii code reader which came up with the p2112 code and said "throttle actuator control system - stuck closed". |
