SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO IDLE SPEED WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO WARNING AND COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPEN TWICE IN CITY DRIVING. I BELIEVE THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IS THE PROBLEM.

WHITLE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR WILL STOP ACCELERATION AND WILL NOT GO AS IF IT IS GETTING NO POWER . IT WILL START TO SPUTTER AND THEN THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COME ON . IF CAR IS TURNED OFF IT WILL IMMEDIATELY BE FINE THIS IS RANDOM IT MAY HAPPEN 3 TIMES IN A DAY AND THEN NOT AGAIN FOR A WEEK ANT THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND I FEEL IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

THE WRENCH APPEARED AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS GOING 65 MILES PER HOUR. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE...I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. NOTHING HAPPENED AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME 2 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE IT WOULD RUN. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT SAID IT WAS A SENOR. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSTALLED STE 259 GEAR ASY-STEERING PART INTERCHANGES WITH PART# EG1Z3504GE FOR A FEE OF $1300.00 ON AUGUST 11, 2016. TODAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM....THE WRENCH APPEARED AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY....IT WOULDN'T RESTART I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. AFTER 3 TRIES IT FINALLY STARTED AND I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY RAN ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND FOUND ANOTHER CODE. THE REPORT IS SAYING THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. I AM VERY NERVOUS AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR.

POWER STEERING FAILED AND CAUSED VEHICLE TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTINUE PROPERLY AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD. SIMULTANEOUS WITH THIS FAILURE, THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM SENT UP AN ALARM AND THE TURN SIGNALS STOP WORKING AND THE LEVER HAS TO BE HELD IN PLACE TO MAKE THE INDICATORS WORK.

AS I WAS DRIVING, ON THE HIGHTWAY, THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT SEEMED TO NOT BE GETTING ANY GAS. WHEN I GAVE IT GAS IT DID NOT EVEN REV. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED ABOUT 20 SECONDS, STARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER. THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, TURNING OR LEAVING STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, IT WILL DROP IN SPEED AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL COMES ON. I HAVE HAD TO TRY AND COAST OUT OF TRAFFIC TO SIDE OF ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE LANE OR WHERE EVER I CAN. I HAVE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART ONLY TO HAVE IT DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. WHEN TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH IT SOMETIMES WILL DRAG LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO START. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL NOT KNOW THAT YOUR CAR IS NOT AT A STEADY SPEED AND IS SLOWING DOWN OR CAN'T TAKE OFF. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND BECAUSE IT IS NOT DOING IT OR THE WRENCH SYMBOL IS NO LONGER THERE AFTER U RESTART THE CAR, THEY CAN'T GET A CODE. I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.

VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WILL STOP ACCELERATING AND WILL START STALLING WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE PERSON BEHIND YOU WILL NOT NOTICE THE VEHICLE NOT ACCELERATING. THE POWER-TRAIN "WRENCH" LIGHT TURNS ON. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT FUNCTION AND THE VEHICLE WILL KEEP STALLING. THE ELECTRONICS AND AC INSIDE THE VEHICLE DO NOT TURN OF DURING THIS. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND THEN TURN ON THE VEHICLE. IT WILL DRIVE FINE A MOMENT BUT THE SYMPTOMS COME BACK. ALL THIS HAPPENED DURING DRIVING IN THE CITY. THE AVERAGE SPEED WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED IS BETWEEN 30-40 MPH.
