This has the same dangerous throttle system that put Toyota in the news. The common sense reliable throttle cable doesn't fit the engineers standards for complexity. This is one system you do not want to work on yourself. The dealer will retrieve stored diagnostic fault codes from the computer and record them. If no other service is needed, at least the problem will be documented in the event of a lawsuit in the future.

Thank you for the response I'm going to have the dealer take a look at it.
