Description of the problem | Crossing traffic to turn left, the car sputtered and practically stopped in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic. Fortunately, there was enough distance that i was able to pull into the median and stop. This was about the 8th time the car had stalled in motion or suddenly surged forward but was the scariest as an accident could have easily happened if the oncoming cars were travelling faster or if i had been hurrying and trying to make the turn between vehicles. The garage says that it was the throttle body. This should be a recall issue! |
