 Description of the problemDriving 70 mph in left lane of 4 way interstate in rush hour traffic, my car suddenly lost all acceleration and i coasted to a stop on the left shoulder. Engine still ran, but car idled roughly and lurched forward. Turned engine off and called 911 and aaa (was sitting on narrow left shoulder of busy interstate at rush hour). After 10 minutes, called 911 again and they said help was still far away so i started car and was able to drive the car as normal so merged into traffic from left shoulder. By grace of god i was in the left lane when power was lost, not sure i could have made it to either shoulder had it happened while i was in one of the middle lanes. Also glad my 17 month old son wasn't with me, as i was on way to pick him up from daycare. Today (may 2), i drove car to dealer and was told that the problem is a faulty throttle body. Am having it replaced. Was told there is not a recall for this problem. Scary, thought i was going to die.

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.

Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
