Description of the problem | Driving down highway 65 mph, car decelerates and starts cutting out, we have to stop, put the car in park, kill the engine, restart, and go again. Driving on a 2 lane highway with no place to pull over, no shoulders, steep side ditches it died 6 times in 7 miles. This is just the last incident, there were many others. I had it diagnosed as the throttle body being bad, had it ordered. Found out there was a 3 month back order, because there was so many of these problems with no recall. This is our only vehicle!! |
