“The the service traction control service stabilitrak lights with the engine light came on and I lost engine power and was reduced power. This was while driving slowly getting up to speed. Happened again a few days later when going about 40 MPH and I could not go any faster, I had to pull over and stop driving. Parked the car for 3 hours then it was fine. Still not clear as to what caused this. Engine light is still on.”
