Description of the problem | Wife was driving vehicle 6 miles from home, vehicle began stumbling and would hardly run. Made it out of 4 lane road to safety. Wrench symbol showed till engine was turned off. Shut off vehicle and restarted after approx. 5 minutes, continued 1 mile to destination. After vehicle set for 2 hours drove it 7 miles home and vehicle limped up driveway. Wife was afraid to drive vehicle until 7/28/2013 when we tried it again. I can not drive vehicle since having a stroke but was with her. We drove vehicle to ymca and it went to limping after 9 miles, shut off and let set for 5-6 minutes. Vehicle ran ok for an additional 5 miles to y. Started home after 1 hour at y. Vehicle ran approx 5 miles in 45 and 30 mph speed limit area. It started limping approx. 500 feet from stop light. It went in limp mode 4 more times in the last 9 miles to get home. Luckily the traffic was not real heavy late in afternoon and we made it home without any accidents; only a very stressful ride home. Vehicle now showed engine symbol. We read the fault code and it was p2111 or faulty throttle body. This is a very expensive repair which dealer said was out of warranty at 36k. Miles. |
