Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON ROADS AND INTERSTATES, I FREQUENTLY RECEIVE A DASH NOTIFICATION "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MY VEHICLE LOSES SPEED AND CANNOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 40MPH - DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON AN INTERSTATE. THE NOTIFICATION LIGHTS AND SYMPTOMS OCCASIONALLY GO AWAY AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON, ONLY TO COME BACK LATER. I CANNOT FIND AND ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM.
