The car suddenly loses power when driving. There is no control of acceleration. This dangerous if this does it while in traffic. The code on the error is pt1111 and pt1112.

The car just will just stall out while driving on freeway or street. I know from what i have read that it is the throttle body. It loses all power and just dies while driving. This has happened multiple times and the last time my kids and i almost died in the car. It is awful how this happened and the part was backordered and is extremely expensive to fix. *tr

Without warning the vehicle began shaking losing power. Seconds later it would not accelerate. I had to stop in the middle of a busy intersection, put the car in park, and restart it. This resolved the issue temporarily but caused a very dangerous situation. It has happened again and the mechanic's thought is that it is a problem with the throttle body and it needs to be replaced. The vehicle is 2,000 miles past the…
