VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CAR HESITATES WHILE AT STEADY THROTTLE AND STALLS WHILE IDLE UNLESS I TURN OFF AIR CONDITIONER AND STEREO (SOMETIMES STALLS ANYWAY). DEALER HAS BEEN NON RESPONSIVE TO THE PROBLEM, STATING IT NEEDS ROUTINE MAIN TENANCE FLUSHES,WHICH HAVE COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS WITH LESS THAN 25, 000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE PROBLEM ONLY CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. THE STALLING MAKES ME FEAR FOR MY SAFETY. ALSO, THE DEALER CANNOT SERVICE MY VEHICLE IN LESS THAN TWO. *AK WEEKS WHEN I CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT TODAY BY ANOT HER MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME IN HIS OPINION, THESE FLUSHES HAD NOT EVER BEEN DONE AND THAT THE CAR WAS BADLY IN NEED OF SUCH. I HAVE THE INVOICE FROM THE DEALER STATING THAT THEY PERFORMED THE FUEL INJECTOR CLEANING AND THE THROTTLEBODY COMBUSTION CHAMBER CLEANING (AT MY EXPENSE) AT 25,482MILES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS NOT STARTED IMMEDIATELY IN THE MORNING AS WELL.
