Description of the problem | I was going approximately 60 to 65 mph on the freeway and i stepped on the gas to accelerate past another vehicle when i very suddenly lost all acceleration. I had to glide across 3 lanes of heavy traffic to try to get off the road. The car idled a little rough, i turned it off and when i started it again it ran fine and the accelerator worked again. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the throttle body. This was an extremely dangerous event and should definitely be looked into. |
