A hard impact could loosen some wiring. Check around your wiring connections for a loose wire or connector that came apart. Also check your ignition coil wire and spark plug wire.

It was just going over wheel ruts at an intersection.

Did you check your wiring like I suggested?

I did check all wiring and mechanical. Nothing found.

I had it towed to dealer. They found broken throttle cable. Waiting on parts.

Hoping this is not a common or regular occurrence. 3 yr. old cart.

Hope to get it back today.

Get dealership to check recalls for you but there is throttle spring recall and a brake cable recall on the 2017. I already had taken mine in for the recalls. Also there is a service bulletin to replace the windshield. Dealership did all 3 of mine at no cost to me and I am not the original owner.
