Description of the problem | I was driving in the city, heavy traffic, when with no warning the engine light and traction light came on, and message reduction in power also came on. I could not move faster than 20 miles an hour. I obstructed traffic trying to get off the street, and drivers honked and yelled trying to avoid hitting me. I parked and turned off car and restarted twice. It drove normally but check engine light still remained on. I will see dealer but no warnings or error messages are on now. I am terrified to take passengers or drive on the freeway, or at night. |
