Description of the problem | As i was slowing down to turn, the entire system died and there was no power. Luckily, i was able to pull over and the vehicle started up again. This happened four times in the past year: may 2012, sept. 2013, march 2013, and again on may 15 2013. Each time i took it to the dealership and was told there was no problem found. After doing some research on line,i discovered many people have experienced the same problem. Very dangerous and am afraid to drive it. Read that replacing the throttle might help. Is there a recall or what should i do? |
