TAKATA RECALL-MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE AND THROTTLE PETAL IS NOT WORKING. IT STOPPED WORKING ON MONDAY AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME COMING DOWN GLENWOOD AVENUE IN RALEIGH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE GAS TO THE CAR AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT SINCE WE WERE DRIVING AT A CERTAIN SPEED. I HAD TO GET IN THE RIGHT LANE AND COAST TO THE LIGHT AND TURNED THE CORNER TO PARK THE CAR TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I HAD TO GET MY BROTHER TO DRIVE BEHIND ME AS I COAST HOME NOT ABLE TO GIVE THE CAR GAS BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WORKING. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE MECHANIC AROUND THE CORNER FROM MY HOME AND A DIAGNOSTIC HAS BEEN DONE ON THE CAR AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE AND A THROTTLE PETAL REPLACED. I KEEP EVERYTHING ON MY CAR CARE UP TO DATE. I SEEN A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUT WAS TOLD THAT THAT INFORMATION IS INCORRECT FOR MY CAR. I NEED AN INVESTIGATION DOWN ON THIS SINCE THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. PLEASE GET BACK WITH MY WITH THIS INFORMATION. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE ERROR MESSAGE THAT CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AUG 2016. GARAGE SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE, TOLD THEM TO ORDER ONE, THEY SAID IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE 100'S ARE ON BACK ORDER, THEY SAID TO GO AHEAD AND DRIVE THE CAR. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE NOT WORKING NOW (JUNE 2017) AND THE GARAGE SAYS IT IS BECAUSE OF THE INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE. THE MODULE IS STILL ON BACK ORDER AND WE ARE NUMBER 450 OR SUCH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THE THE SEBRING (NOW CHRYSLER 200). WE WONDER WHAT WILL GO WRONG NEXT, WILL THE ENGINE DIE OR WORSE MAYBE IT WILL SPEED OUT OF CONTROL.
