Description of the problem | 2 different times while driving on the highway with speed limit of 65 on one highway and 70 on another highway car stalled, power steering was out and gas didn't work, both times i was in the middle lane and it was difficult to get car to side of road with oncoming traffic. It happened a few more times when not on the highway, i took it to the dealership and they wanted to charge me 180$ just to find out what was wrong and because it was beyond the 36000 mile warranty they said nothing would be covered, so i took it to our mechanic and it was discovered that is was the throttle body, he replaced it for 500$, it hasn't had the problems since the throttle body was replaced. |
