The next day, my daughter used my car to pick up a gas grill for a christmas gift which she left in my car overnight.

I hoped it was some bad gas and was a one-time event - until it happened again, and i was again able to get home. I am…

In the peak of traffic the vehicle stalled and started choking. Almost would barely run. Had the opportunity to stop in the rest area and had to pay the tow truck. Vehicle currently in the shop and the diagnosis is the throttle body needs replacing. And the warranty is not covering. *tr
