Description of the problem | Engine ticks and lags/hesitate under throttle receive error code p0308, dealership recommended a tune up but did not resolve problem. Still hesitates under throttle. Did extensive research on-line and this is a common problem with the engine and costly to consumers and dangerous. In my case, i was entering a highway with my 2 kids. I was on the frontage road going about 40 mph as i entered the on ramp of the freeway to get to the speed limit of 60 mph. When i accelerated the engine started to hesitate and almost stalled causing the vehicles on the freeway to slam on his/her breaks and swerve to go around me. Fortunately, the cars behind me did not ran into me or anyone else causing a major accident as this occurred during rush hour on a major freeway. |
