| Description of the problem | This is actually the third time that this happens to my car but this time i was driving on the freeway and it was a pretty scary experience. I was driving on the freeway at about 60 mph. All of the sudden, my car lost speed and power. A warning message showed on my dashboard reading "pre-safe functions limited see operator's manual" at this point my car was still running but at a low speed and i could not accelerate. I was driving on the fast lane of the freeway. I put my emergency lights on and likely the car behind me noticed that i was having issues with my car. I turned off the car, waited about a minute and turned the car back on as i had done this the other two times that this had happened. Once i turned the car back on, i was able to drive home. However this was a very scary experience as the car lost speed and the car behind me could have rear ended me. Another issue with this car is that the engine light has come on about 3 times in the last month after receiving a warning message "inoperative". Another issue "hazard warning flashers malfunctioning" i have left a message to take my car for service. I am waiting for a call back. |
