| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After driving in stop and go traffic (engine compartment very hot) car does not respond to throttle input. this is an intermittently problem. when you depress the gas pedal the engine does not respond or is very delayed, and then a couple of seconds later it tries to catch up and the engine surges to high rpm. this is very dangerous when pulling out in front of traffic due to the lack of throttle response. it is also very dangerous if there's a person or object in front of the vehicle and it surges and takes off very fast. i took it to the dealer while it was acting up and there weren't any codes in the ecu, but the mechanic put it on a meter and read the voltages of the pedal vs. throttle body and determined the throttle body was not responding correctly and it was the faulty component. he also admitted that they've had a lot of similar problems with those throttle bodies but there hasn't been a recall on the part. this is a very dangerous problem and needs to be addressed. *nm |
