| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Electrical system - my car was parked for two days at a secure airport park and ride. when returning from my trip, when putting the car in reverse the car jerked and rolled out of the parking space. i then proceeded to put the car in drive and it failed to accelerate. the engine and transmission warning lights were illuminated, which put the car in limp mode. i had the car towed to the dealership. thankfully i was not in high traffic when this happened. if i was traveling at 60 mph and the car went into limp mode there could have been a serious accident. the dealer stated that it was a throttle positioning sensor failure and to correct the problem, the throttle housing would have to be replaced at a cost of $1600.00. the warranty had expired 3 months earlier. this car has less than 48,000 miles on it and is only driven in city traffic. this has to be a defect with this unit, especially since it failed while the car was parked without warning. this is definitely a safety issue. if this unit had failed on the interstate (i live in the metro atlanta area) it could have caused a major accident with possible injuries. *jb |
