What owners wrote
First time, was in a drive through & just took off, hopped the curb, and hit talk box. Next 2 times were stopped quickly by me putting in neutral. Last time was just leaving parking space, and car jumped curb and I stopped 4 ft. From brick wall. Have had it tested 2-3 times by mechanics w/o success.
1. No event leading to failure. Car has operated perfectly since purchased, june 2004. 2. Failure occured while driving from lunch. Car was driven approximately fifty-five (55) miles to get to work. Upon returing from lunch car stalled, would only idle, so only 20-30 MPH speed was acheived. Limped into work parking lot and had high idle. Shut down vehicle. Came back next morning, car started but took to independant repair shop. Car had codes of maf sensor failure and ets sensor failure.
