“I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, HIT A LARGE (APPROX 6 FEET X 4 FEET X 4 FEET) WOODEN SHIPPING CRATE. THE CRATE EXPLODED, AND A BOARD BECAME LODGED IN THE TIRE WELL AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I ALSO LOST POWER THE VEHICLE - THE WRECKER DRIVER ADVISED THAT THE BOARD APPEARED TO HAVE DISCONNECTED THE COMPUTER WIRES. THE CRATE HIT ON THE FRONT DRIVER FENDER. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WOULD THINK HITTING SOMETHING THE SIZE OF THE FRONT END OF A CAR AT 60 MPH SHOULD SET OFF THE AIR BAGS. *TR”

“ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY, CAUSING INCONSISTENT, POOR OR NON-EXISTENT THROTTLE RESPONSE. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT MAY ALSO LIGHT UP. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE USUALLY MAKES THE PROBLEM GO AWAY, BUT THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. OCCASIONALLY, WITH THE ETC LIGHT ON, THROTTLE RESPONSE DOES NOT OCCUR AT ALL, WHICH IS HAZARDOUS IN TRAFFIC. *TR”
