Car loses power while driving, does not completely stall out, but loses power steering and acceleration. Wrench light sometimes turns on. Once I pull over, stop and restart car, it seems to return to normal functioning. This has happened four times over a period of six months. Dealer diagnosed throttle body failure and replaced throttle body.

Filed Oct 7, 2013 · Brakes · 63,400 miles · GA

Driving down hill on dry pavement at 35mph. Gentle braking for red traffic light. Everything normal until slowed nearly to a stop. Then a sudden loss of braking effect requiring extreme pressure on brake. Simultaneous with the loss of braking a clunking sound was heard and several warning lights came on including brake, ABS, & traction lights. Drove to a safe location with the warning lights still on and the brakes requiring markedly more force to apply. Engine never stalled. Once parked I turned off the car and removed the key. When I restarted the car all the lights went out and the brakes behaved normally. Drove the car to nearest dealer. They found no codes and could find nothing wrong. Called national service number and was assigned case # [xxx]. Almost hit car ahead of me. Now I am afraid to operate vehicle. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
