| 2009 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I WAS JUST PULLING AWAY FROM A DRIVE THRU WINDOW WHEN THE "WRENCH" LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE TRUCK STOPPED MOVING FORWARD AS IF IT HAD BEEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, WHICH IT HADN'T BEEN. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE, WITH NO FURTHER LIGHTS BEING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN APPROX 3 WEEKS LATER, ALTHOUGH THIS TIME I WAS GOING APPROX. 20 MPH, HAVING JUST ACCELERATED FROM A STOP SIGN. THE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON, AND THEN THE TRUCK LOST POWER. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND RESTARTED IT. THIS TIME, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF, SO I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO READ THE COMPUTER. THEY FOUND DIAGNOSTIC CODE P2111, THROTTLE BODY STUCK OPEN. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF SITTING IN MY PARKING LOT AT WORK, WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, AND PER THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE COMPUTER HAD RESET ITSELF. *TR |
| 2002 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A DRUG STORE, STOPPED, AND AS I WAS PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, IT SURGED FORWARD OVER THE CURB AND INTO THE BUILDING. THE ENGINE THEN RETURNED TO IDLE. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT AND IT SURGED BACKWARD BUT I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT QUICKLY. IT AGAIN RETURNED TO NORMAL IDLE. THE CAR HAS 57K MILES AND HAD NO PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. |
