Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING A MESSAGE APPEARED : "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" , THEN "SERVICE STABILITRAK". VERY SOON AFTER (A MINUTE OR TWO LATER) - A MESSAGE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" APPEARED. THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 2K RPM'S. LUCKILY WE WERE ON A SLOW ROAD, SO WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF AND THERE WERE NO HIGH SPEED CARS BEHIND US. SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, WAITING A FEW MINUTES THEN TURNING IT BACK ON APPEARED TO CLEAR THE ISSUE. THE TRACTION CONTROL SHOWED AS OFF WHEN IT FIRST STATED UP, BUT THEN IT SHOWED 'TRACTION CONTROL ON" AS IT STRATED TO DRIVE. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF REPORTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET.
