Description of the problem | While traveling on highway with my family, at about 65 mph there was an engine shudder, then the yellow wrench light illuminated on left side of console. Engine was now vibrating and shaky. Stepped on gas and no acceleration, although all other electrical items were running. With the forward momentum i was able to get over. Pulled over to side of highway, called roadside assistance and in the process, i shut off the vehicle. The agent on the phone asked for the mileage of vehicle and i turned the vehicle on again. The yellow wrench light was off and the vehicle seemed normal. I was able to drive to the next exit and get off the highway and safely home. The vehicle has displayed no further issues since then. This vehicle had just been in for normal service the day prior, saturday. After doing further research online it was found this brand of vehicle had a reported problem with the throttle manifold intake. |
