While driving my 1999 Oldsmobile Alero 2.4L, my traction control light came on. It did not give the normal warning indicator to let me know that something was wrong. I stopped at a stop sign. With the oncoming traffic it requires you to quickly enter the intersection. My car stalled in the middle of take of as if it was not getting gas. The oncoming traffic which is traveling at a great rate of speed had to slam on breaks to prevent from hitting my stalled car. Several cars came to a screeching halt and nearly wrecked. I learned that the cause of the car stalling was my throttle position sensor was faulty. This is the second time I have had to replace the tps. The first was done approximately 2 years ago the hendrick dealership in apex North Carolina. I experienced the same problem with the traction control light coming and the transmission shift irregular and the car stalling. On the last experience today 28 Feb 06 I had my 7 year old son in the back seat. I would like this issue address by the General Motors corporation immediately. I narrowly escaped suffering severe injuries and possible lost of life today.
