Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, A MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED SAYING "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". I WAS USING CRUISE CONTROL AND IT SHUT OFF AFTER THE MESSAGES WERE DISPLAYED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT OR ACCELERATE QUICKLY IF NEEDED. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING AND THE TWO MESSAGES DISPLAYED AND A FEW MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING AND THE ENGINE WAS NOT RESPONDING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN WAS TO SHUT IT OFF AND WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES UNTIL IT WOULD START AGAIN. *KB
