| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Please add me to the growing list of people who had their electronic throttle module fail on them while driving in heavy traffic. it failed on me( with no prior hint of failure ) causing the car to go into idle speed while crossing a very busy intersection. i called the dealer and they told me i could reset the computer buy a combination of door lock turns which i did. it then failed again in a very dangerous condition (sitting at a red light with a long line of traffic behind me) while driving to the dealer to be replaced two days later. it failed at about 94,000 miles but i don't consider this a part which should have such a design flaw. and if it is going to fail - the cars' computer should not cause the car to go into limp home mode. it was replaced by the dealer at a cost of around $900 with a one year warranty. *jb |
