problem #2

May 112008

TL

  • 634,888 miles
I was driving on the highway doing about 65mph and my vehicle just went into a complete stop and it will not exceed 50mph immediately my check engine light came on and when I brought it to the dealer they reported that the throttle was loose and that there is nothing else wrong and that is when they informed me that the engine that my vehicle has is not the vehicles original which I was not very happy about because I should have been told this before I bought the vehicle. Not to mention the fact that I could have got into a serious accident when this incident occurred.
