Yes - it was the electronic throttle module. Dealer also had to install new trnasmission software. I asked him to change the oil since the car was there - $400 later, I retrieved the car. Brake fluid needed to be changed, then he noticed that the brake pads weren't going to last another month, then he decided that I might as well have the cabin filter changed and the 37,500 check done...at least the ETM and downloads were under warranty.

I love the car when it is running - but it's becoming a little expensive to maintain and the warranty runs out in Nov.
