... no one wants to buy a car and have issues with the car right away. I was driving and the car lit up like a Christmas tree then literally started jumping to get acceleration. Being a female that worked on Chevys, I immediately knew it was the throttle body.

I am driving on freeway and engine dies and can't steer, almost been killed several times. Very Dangerous.

Update from Jan 30, 2017: It has died on me 9 times in 3 months and I don't know what to do, because I don't have money to take it to a garage and Not be fixed. I live in Oregon with scary roads and Mountains, I am scared to drive it except in town at slow speeds or we will get killed/

Update from Feb 7, 2017: Engine died again at stop sign for no reason and almost got rear ended. Anybody know how to fix. I can't afford to trade in. Help!
