2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 07/28/2021

I was simply going up a slight hill and the wrench light turned on I lost power she still accelerated but sluggish and changing gears was sluggish too. Turned it off at the house made sure my cai was good and the light is off. I see tons upon tons of people complaining about the wrench light and the throttlebody. No codes. Something is wrong with them I see people have trouble with 12k on their throttle body. I wanted to go on here to say that I believe it is extremely dangerous for the issue to come and go especially on busy roads. The problem comes and goes without a trace. So dangerous it deserves a recall just like my airbag and the hundreds of thousands who reported it.

On December 22nd, 2010 the car was returned to me with the replaced rear axle assembly. On December 27th, 2010 the newly replaced rear axle assembly again went out leaving me stranded on the same highway a few yards shy of the previous breakdown.
