VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
WHILE GOING 65 MPH, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT WORKING AND THE SPEED DROPPED TO ABOUT 30MPH. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEH. THE PROBLEM WOULD CORRECT ITSELF FOR AWHILE. BUT EVENTUALLY THAT NO LONGER WORKED, AND I HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE THE GAS PEDAL. THIS TOO DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SO WHEN WE DRIVE IT, AT ANY TIME, THE POWER DEACCELERATES AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS WAY DOWN. IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE IT IS NOT SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE AND REVS AT A HIGH RPM.

AND AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 14,2014 I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE SHOP AGAIN FOR LOWER BALL JOINT DISCONNECT AND REPLACE LOWER CONTROL ARMS. AND AGAIN THIS YEAR FEBRUARY 24, 2015 FOR THE EXACT SAME THING; REPLACEMENT OF LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND LOWER BALL JOINT.

EVERY TIME; I DRIVE THIS CAR I AM SO FRANTIC OF KNOWING AROUND THE TIME I AM GOING TO HEAR THAT SOUND OF SOMETHING RATTLING AND SOUNDING LIKE LOOSE BOLTS COMING FROM THE TIRE. MY 15 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THIS YEAR, MADE THE REMARK;" MAMA I HEAR THAT RATTLING SOUND AGAIN!" PLEASE SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE; DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE COSTLY REPAIRS ON THE CHRYSLER SEBRING 2002 CARS.
