What is your question?
My 2011 Chrysler 200 was in a pretty bad front end accident about 2yrs ago. Shortly after vehicle was fixed I noticed every once in a while the ETC light would come on and then go off as I was driving. Took it to Chrysler dealership and they said couldn't find anything wrong. I continued to drive vehicle with the ETC light continuing to go on and off sporadically for about 1.5yrs because I thought it was nothing to worry about if Chrysler couldn't find anything wrong. The other day I was driving on freeway and the ETC light came on and the vehicle lost pedal response, could only go like 30km/h, and made a lot of noise like it was going to die/stall. Took it back to same dealership they said needs a throttle body. Insurance won't cover repair because their experts said throttle body won't break over time. It breaks immediately. Can throttle body break over time from front collision when ETC light goes on/off for 1.5yrs while driving? Need evidence to prove them wrong to get fix covered.
How long has your 2011 Chrysler 200 had this problem?
1.5yrs
But can a front end collision knock some electronics, electrical connection or something lose on/to do with the throttle body that would cause the ETC light to sporadically come on and off shortly after the accident. And do this for 1.5yrs until the one day the throttle body finally breaking? And what would cause the ETC light to come on and off for some seconds while driving for 1.5yrs after the accident? Insurance says if throttle body goes it goes all the way immediately and not slowly over time and that the ETC light wouldn’t come on and off for 1.5yrs and then the throttle body breaking.
