“This is twice that I've received the p2138 throttle body sensor code, which causes reduced engine power and has subsequent issues around stabilitrack/awd. The first time was in the middle of an intersection, we limped out of the intersection at 3 MPH. Today, my wife limped home from the store. This is extremely frustrating and should have been recalled a long time ago!!”
