Description of the problem | I was driving in the left lane of the highway at approximately 60 mph, when suddenly and unexpectedly my vehicle lost power. Fortunately i was able to pull over to the shoulder of the road without being involved in an accident. When i shut off and restarted the vehicle i was able to drive it to the dealer to be repaired. It was the throttle body assembly, a $400 repair that is no longer under warranty. Their should be a recall for such a dangerous problem so that no one gets hurt or killed.... |
