Consumer Description
EARLIER THIS YEAR MY CAR STARTED FLASHING A "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" TOGETHER. MY CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS WORKING HARDER TOO BUT I WAS CITY DRIVING LESS THAN 30MPH SO I DIDN'T OTHERWISE NOTICE PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENED RARELY. A FEW MONTHS LATER I WAS ON THE FREEWAY JUST GETTING ON (FLAT ROAD) AND THE WARNINGS CAME ON SUDDENLY. THEN AS I GOT OVER 40MPH, MY CAR ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A SLIGHT TURN OFF MY WHEELS ENOUGH TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR FLASHES THESE RANDOMLY AFTER RANDOM LENGTHS OF TIME OF THE CAR BEING ON AND DRIVEN AND IT'S ALMOST A DAILY OCCURRENCE. I'VE SEEN ONLINE NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE.
