Description of the problem | Driving on major highway during morning rush hour when traffic slowing, traffic was clearing and everyone accelerating back to speed and i tried to accelerate to speed and my escape just died. Tried to restart several times, but it kept dying when attempting to accelerate. I could get it started again, but could only accelerate to 5-10 mph. I had to cross several lanes of traffic to get out of harms way, very hazardous. Had to have vehicle towed and was told the electronic throttle body went out. |
