Description of the problem | I was driving to my son's house when the car lost power there was a chime warning and on the dash a menu starting the hill assist was not available the engine continue to run but there was no response when i pressed on the accelerator the car would only due about 3 miles at idle speed. Was able restart it and make back home, on the next day10/09/16 i had the same problem this time i could not get it to accelerate i had the car towed to the dealership it was sunday the dealer was closed. I called the dealer on monday and told him what happen and he said they were working on it. They called later and said it was throttle control and a couple of error codes that required up dating p2111, u0415 and u0416. They also replaced the throttle body. They also noted they drove it 9 miles and noted that all ok at this time. That last comment sounds that this could happen again. This is a very dangerous problem had i been on the interstate at rush hour i might not be writing this to complain. When this happens the car slows on so fast that the car behind doesn't know you have a problem because you are not braking which means your brake lights are not on and he more than likely is going to hit you. The first time this happens is quiet scary because you have no idea what is happening. |
