VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES LEADING UP TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. AS I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY START TO JERK TO ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE WITHOUT ME WANTING TO CHANGE SPEEDS. SEVERAL OF THESE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THEN THE MESSAGE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WOULD APPEAR ON THE DASH AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON. THIS WOULD ALSO CAUSE THE CAR TO REDUCE ITS SPEED AND CAUSE SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR AS INDICATED BY A CODE LOOK UP AND HAVEN'T HAD ANYMORE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AS OF OCTOBER 25, 2014. *TR
