    There were two events with the electronic throttle cutting off while driving, though, engine did not stall, requiring reset by turning off the ignition then restarting the car. At the time the throttle cutting off there was a yellow wrench indicator light light on my dash. This mimics nhtsa action number: pe13003, however, this action number does not include my vin number.

    Car was running normally, about 30 miles per hour, all of a sudden the car began jerking and slowed to a crawl and seemed as though it was going to stall.

    Twice now i was driving when my car began to shake/jump. The wrench light came on and i lost power to the car, couldn't use the gas peddle and steering was awful. I had to completely stop in the middle of the road, put the car in park, turn it off and then back on. I was able to take it home and drive again but it keeps happening. This is not safe for me or other drivers. *tr
