| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving at various speeds: the vehicle loses speed control (acceleration pedal non-responsive), the epc sensor light turns on, and the engine light turns on. without speed control i must quickly maneuver to the shoulder to avoid obstruction of free-flowing traffic. if i shut the engine off and turn it on again, the vehicle regains speed control until the next occurrence (there is no pattern). my mechanics handheld computer has identified an intermittent problem with the throttle body , which is a by-wire speed control system. having read similar complaints on the web, i suspect that this may be a common problem with this speed control device that costs almost $700 to replace (excluding labor).*ak |
