Consumer Description

I HAVE AN 08' ENCLAVE AND I LIVE IN WISCONSIN, TODAY I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES INTO THE RIDE, THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STABILITY-TRACK LIGHT BOTH CAME ON DURING THE JERKING AND SLOWING DOWN OF MY VEHICLE. THE DIC STROLLS THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER AND SERVICE ENGINE." I DROVE MY VEHICLE ALL THE WAY HOME AND THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE NO MORE THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS COMPLETELY DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AND IM HOPING THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I GOOGLED THE PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR
