Throttle body failed as i was driving at speed on the freeway. When it failed, the vehicle immediately went into idle mode which made it very dangerous to avoid traffic as i attempted to move onto the shoulder of the freeway. The car moved at no more than 5mph! The repair is very expensive. I feel that this part should not fail after just 76,000 miles. Attached is the repair bill. *tr

Charged over $800 to repair. Completely losing power while driving down the highway is definitely a…

My wife ,who is three months pregnant, was driving down the road when the wrench light came on and vehicle lost power and went into what i am hearing is "limp mode". The car losses power , never shuts off, it reduces the rpms to about 600 and speed to about 10 to 12 mph. When this happened to her she just barely got off the road before an 18 wheeler hit her from behind. When i arrived on scene i cut the vehicle off…

Returning home from work, the engine stopped operating. I pulled onto the median and managed to bring my vehicle to a stop. The check engine light as well as other icons were lit up on the information panel which indicated there was still electrical power. After a couple of attempts the vehicle started and i proceeded on my way. Traffic was heavy by this time. Within the next mile or so the vehicle stalled an…
