Twice in the last weekend I've gotten the 'Service Electronic Throttle' error message. First time the accelerator pedal still seemed to work. I pulled off the freeway, restarted the engine, and the error message did not repeat. About a thousand miles later the error message appeared again. The accelerator pedal seemed to do nothing. I floored it. No response. I did that again twice. At last full power appeared. At next stop for fuel, the error message cleared as before.
Just now I read that Automobile magazine's Giulia Quadrifoglio set the throttle error and went into limp mode upon left foot braking. I do use both feet and was using that technique when the throttle error flashed on. But I have used both feet many more times than the throttle error has appeared. Is Automobile right that there is an incorrect assumption of one pedal at a time in the software?
