| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Failure of "electronic throttle module (etm)". loss of power while driving with no advanced warning or other indication immanent failure. car went into "limp home mode" which provides enough power for the vehicle to be driven, but because the engine management computer attempts to keep a fixed, somewhat above idle, throttle setting, releasing the throttle does not result in engine braking as normal for a manual transmission vehicle. neither situation, loss of power or loss of throttle control, is acceptable and could cause an accident. the sudden loss of power nearly resulted in my being rear ended, luckily the driver behind me reacted quickly enough to avoid hitting me. the dealer installed new software in the etm in an attempt to rectify the problem. *jb |
