Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THIS REDUCED ENGINE POWER/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE BEFORE WITH THIS CAR. A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD IT CUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A SIDE STREET. THANKFULLY IT WASN'T A BUSY STREET. BUT I'VE NEVER FELT THREATENED UNTIL THIS MORNING. I CAME TO AN INTERSECTION OF A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN I GOT THE MESSAGE. I NEEDED TO CROSS OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE. AS I BEGAN TO CROSS I WAS IN THE CROSS-HAIRS OF A TRASH TRUCK ON ONE SIDE AND A CAR ON THE OTHER. I TRIED TO FLOOR IT BUT MY CAR DIDN'T RESPOND AS NORMAL. IT TRULY WAS REDUCED! THANKFULLY ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES PERFORMED AS THEY SHOULD. *TR
