Owner Narrative
VEHICLE GOES INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING AND INCREASES RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED, DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO SAFELY GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WHEN IN THE LEFT LANE WITH OTHER CARS BEHIND. MORE INSTANCES OF THIS SAME SCENARIO OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAN I CAN COUNT. THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN CLEANED. THERE ARE TOO MANY INTERNET FORUM POSTS DETAILING MANY DIFFERENT PARTS HAVING BEEN REPLACED BY DEALERSHIPS AND OTHER MECHANICS AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTING TO JUST START REPLACING PARTS BECAUSE THE COSTS TOO QUICKLY IS UNSUSTAINABLE. *TR
