“Toggle body was replaced. My husband had the exact same thing replaced. Same model year, bought a couple of months apart. Suddenly lost acceleration ability. Could not keep driving, as there was no power to keep moving along. Malfunction light and both skid/traction lights came on. We both made it home, towed to dealership as a precaution. Didn't want to chance driving any longer.”
