While driving my vehicle lost power and would only go 5 mph. The engine trouble (wrench) signal came on. We had the vehicle towed to the dealer. Dealer ran diagnostic tests and determined throttle body was bad and needed to be replaced. Part ordered and is on backorder - may be 3 weeks before part is available. The loss of power and sudden decline in speed could have caused a nasty accident. *tr

Fast forward about 7 hours, coming home from dinner, and…
