| 2010 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHILE DRIVING UPON FOUR OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE STOPPED, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF SPEED AND PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AMID TRAFFIC OR A DRIVING LANE CLOSEST TO THE CURB. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND SLOWLY MANEUVERED TO A STOP. THE "WRENCH" LIGHT IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED, WHICH NORMALLY INDICATES A POWERTRAIN ISSUE; HOWEVER, DURING THE 4TH OCCASION, THE WRENCH LIGHT WENT OFF AND THEN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SEVERAL SERVICE PERSONNEL MEMBERS AND RECEIVING GUIDANCE, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. WHILE QUESTIONING MY VEHICLE'S SERVICE CONCERNS, I ENCOUNTERED ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL AT MY DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME CAR AND ISSUE, WHICH WAS SOLVED BY REPLACING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, I LET THE CAR REST FOR 5 MINUTES, STARTED THE CAR BACK UP WITH EASE AND WITHOUT THE SAME ISSUE FOR 7 DAYS. THE SUBSEQUENT INCIDENCES OCCURRED WITHIN A 3 HOUR PERIOD. ALTHOUGH NOT ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME, I FEARED A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND STUCK TO CITY STREETS. *TR |
