Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THIS MORNING I HAD A SERIES OF MESSAGES APPEAR : "TRACTION CONTROL OFF" , THEN "SERVICE STABILITRAK" AND THEN VERY SOON AFTER "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THE CAR WOULD STILL RUN, BUT WOULD NOT GO ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 20MPH AND STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN SPEED. AT ONE POINT HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN ENGINE OFF TO ALMOST "RESET" CAR TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING TO DESTINATION. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AND HAVE HAD TO TAKE TO THE SHOP. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT ARE TYPICALLY IN THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND AM CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY IF THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE RESOLVED.
