| 2012 | ENGINE | 1) HISTORICAL DETAILS / EVENT: WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR (AUGUST, 2012) I NOTICED THE OCCASIONAL STICKING OF THE THROTTLE AND WHEN PRESSING THE BREAK THE CAR WOULD SEEM TO WANT TO ACCELERATE - THIS WOULD HAPPEN ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS: THE DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. 2) RECENT EVENT: ON 07/07 WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING DOWN TO LESS THEN 10MPH AND THE CHECK-ENGINE-LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PULLING OVER AND SITTING FOR A WHILE THE CAR WOULD GO UP TO 30MPH - 40MPH: OVER THAT AND IT WOULD OCCUR AGAIN. PER THE DEALER - DROVE IT TO THEM. ON THE WAY - THIS SLOW DOWN OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES BETWEEN 30-40MPH, ONCE WHILE SLOWING / BREAKING - THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED (RPM OVER 2500) AND I ALMOST HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT. DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO TSB: 13 FL 002 (THROTTLE BODY BORE CARBON FOULING / P2106/P2110 LIMPHOME MODE / P0638 THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL RANGE AND THAT THE BREAK ISSUE WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE BREAK BOOSTER AIR CAUSING THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY TO LOCK OPEN. DEALER CLAIMED ISSUE WAS KNOWN BUT NOT SEEN OFTEN AND NEVER REPEATED. HAD CAR ALL DAY TO FIX (FINISHED: 07/08). ASKED DEALER ABOUT OTHER TSBS IN THE DATABASE AND WAS TOLD NONE OF THEM APPLIED OR WERE APPLICABLE. 3) RECENT EVENT: ON 07/08 AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, GOT 9 MILES OF DRIVING WHEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN AFTER MAKING A 25MPH RIGHT TURN AND ACCELERATING TO 40MPH [ALMOST WAS READ-ENDED BY A TRUCK]. DEALER NOW CLOSED FOR THE EVENING. WILL BE CONTACTING DEALER FIRST THING ON 07/09 AND DEMANDING FIX AND/OR REPLACEMENT - AS THIS IS NOW MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE DEALER DENYING THE SEVERITY OF THIS. *TR |
| 2009 | STEERING | THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED AT NIGHT TIME. ABOUT 10 MIN FROM A COLD START, I TURNED ONTO THE 210 FWY. THERE WAS A 270 DEGREE DOWNHILL TURN (A STEEP CURVE) SO I HAD THE BRAKES ON WHILE DOING 15 MPH. HALF WAY INTO THE TURN, I SUDDENLY LOST BRAKE AND STEERING WHEEL FROZE. WITH SOME EFFORT, I MANAGED TO TURN THE STEERING AND STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING. LATER I SENT THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE EVENT. *TR |
