| Description of the problem | Driving the car at 45 mph and the display messages come on that stated, "pre safe functions limited, inoperative" in addition, the esp and abs warning lights illuminated. The vehicle loses power and has very limited acceleration. It has occurred twice, once on city road and once on highway at 55 mph. Shutting and restarting the car eliminates the problem for the time being. If this happens again and i am unable to pull over safely, it will be a life-threatening emergency. I will be rear-ended at high speeds by traffic behind me. After the first incident, i took it to dealer and they adjusted computer. The same exact thing happened just 4 days later. This has the potential to cause massive fatalities similar to those in the gm debacle. I see this has also been reported as a problem in the 2014 cla 250 models. *js |
