Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The check engine light came on in my car and based on previous experience i immediately drove to the repair center. they checked the codes and discovered 3 errors related to the throttle body. they cleared the codes, drove the car and the light came on again. since they did not have the part in stock i attempted to drive it home but the engine would barely start and even after starting it ran rough. i refused to drive it since my experience so far has been when a component on this car fails, the car does not degrade gracefully but rather stops abruptly (using in the middle of the road).
