Consumer Description
DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY ABOUT 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A CHIME THEN ENGINE SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT BUT IT ACTUALLY REDUCED SPEED QUICKLY. I LOOK UP AT DASH AND SEE THAT IT SAYS, 'ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED'. I THEN NOTICE TO THE LEFT OF DASH THAT THE ENGINE PIC IS LIT UP. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND EXIT THE FREEWAY RIGHT AWAY. WHAT I WOULD NORMALLY DO IS OPEN UP THE OWNERS MANUEL AND FIND OUT A LITTLE MORE TO WHAT'S GOING ON. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR AND IT DIDN'T COME WITH ONE. I DECIDED TO TAKE SIDE STREETS THE REST OF WAY HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME I SHUT CAR OFF THEN STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND IT STILL HAD THE SAME MESSAGE.
