| Description of the problem | Driving on the freeway at apx. 65mph, the car lost engine power and displayed a"stop vehicle and check brakes" message. I had no power to the wheels, so could not safely move out of traffic and was stuck in the active freeway lane with cars zipping by. After the car coasted to a stop, i turned if off and back on. Power returned and i was able to drive normally. The esc, abs, and auto hold lights were on, but went off after apx. 15 minutes of driving. The dealer could not find any problem nor were any error codes recorded in the vehicle. This is a very serious safety issue - i am very fortunate not to have been struck and killed in that situation. |
