| Description of the problem | The car showed "pre-safe unavailable" and showed that the stability control off light on the dash. It went into "limp" mode just before a dangerous y shaped intersection where i was turning to the left leg of the y and the oncoming traffic was from the right side of the y. The car was almost totally unresponsive to throttle inputs, and as i had to slow down to see down the hill to the right side of the y, acceleration across the intersection was less than normal walking speed. Luckily, there was no traffic coming to the right or behind me. Dealer was unable to find the cause. I traded the car in for the next year model due to feeling unsafe driving it. |
