Reduced power light came on the dashboard and I had no power. This has happened 4 times since July 2013. It has happened 2 times in April and now again. It is going back to the garage on tues. Getting ridiculous and expensive! when it is put on the scope it keeps coming up with the throttle position sensor fault.

problem #1

Sep 222011

Canyon 5-cyl

  • 52,000 miles
I pulled into the parking area of a grocery store and stopped in the driving lane of the lot. Upon backing into a parking spot, the shift lever moved freely in my hand and would not shift gears. I rolled forward into a parking spot and called aaa assistance. Upon aaa's arrival the technician crawled under to truck and reattached the transmission cable. Over the course of several weeks the cable came off the transmission linkage several more times. I made an appointment with the dealer to have the linkage replaced. The end of the cable was made of plastic and appeared corroded.
