Description of the problem | I was driving on the highway and suddenly the wrench lit up and my car began to slow down, even though i continued to hold down the gas pedal. I was able to get the side of the highway since it was late at night, but during rush hour, i would have created a pile up. The car started fine about 10 minutes later, but i took it to the dealership and was told that it was a throttle body problem and they are on back order and i would have to pay for a rental car or drive a car around that could randomly stall for the next week. I am currently waiting for the parts to come in. |
