9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2017

Electric throttle body failure and limp mode causes unsafe break downs: while driving on the highway at about 70 mph the highway my car very rapidly decelerated and several service lights turned on. I was able to pull off of the highway and ran a vehicle health report. The report indicated a failure to the restraint system (defined as airbags or seatbelt). This means that if the sudden deceleration without brake lights had caused a collision the airbags may have also malfunctioned. In addition to the safety system malfunction a powertrain malfunction, and tc, ivd, rsc event of fault was reported. I took the car to a dealership and they diagnosed the problem as a electric throttle body malfunction. They said it was a very common problem. It doesn't seem safe to have a car rapidly decelerate itself when a part fails especially if that causes the computer to reports a safety system malfunction as well.
