What owners say

Filed Nov 15, 2002 · Acceleration · OK · crash · 1 injury

Throttle position sensor failed causing engine to race. The vehicle lurched forward and impacted the brick wall by the side of the garage door. The impact knocked the driver unconscious. When he came to the engine was still racing and the tires were spinning. He killed the engine by turning the key off. It bent the bumper and it caused damage to the house. Having a throttle position sensor that can fail in a "non fail safe mode" is a safety hazard. *ph *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**769765
