Consumer Description
NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE INDICATING THAT THIS WOULD SUDDENLY HAPPEN BUT IT DID. I WOULD HEAT UP MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND IT WOULD DRIVE FINE. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BUT THEN I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE AND STABILITRAC LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ABOUT 5 MPH IMMEDIATELY.
