Description of the problem | Driving on the highway at a maintained speed, my vehicle illuminated a maintenance light, and within seconds the gas pedal was not working. I was on a slight hill at the time so i still had some momentum, enough to pull over out of the traffic. The steering, brakes, and everything else were working fine, but nothing happened when i pressed the gas. When i put the car in park there was some stuttering, almost like it was stalling out, coming from under the hood. I turned the vehicle off and waited a few moments. When i turned it back on, it took an extra 2-3 seconds to start up, but seemed to be running fine, and i drove to work, then right to the dealer after work for repairs. They told me it was the electronic throttle body, and that it is now running fine since they replaced the throttle body, and i am going to pick it up after work today. |
