| I have a 2004 outlander an i have many thing wrong like the heater knob broke off the back windows fell but my major concern is the service engine light will come on an ill lose the throttle. in traffic this is pretty scary. everything about the car is tip top. 80,000 miles never had any major problems till this, i've done the gas clicking thing to the gas cap. all the fluids are full and the only way i can get power back is by turning the truck off an on 5 times to rest the computer. *tr | |||
