Description of the problem | I was driving when the gas pedal stopped working and would not accelerate. The engine remained running but all the car would do was coast until a i got to the side of the road and turned the engine off and back on. The car reset ran fine then did it again with cars approaching and i barely got to the side of the road before getting hit because the gas pedal would not work the engine just idled. Took it to the dealership was the throttle body that needed to be replaced. Luckily i did not have my daughter in the car or could have been really bad. Major safety issue. |
