“On 6/4/2018 I picked up my vehicle from the service department at my local dealership after taking it in for the ABS and traction control lights being on and loss of power. The dealership advised they did an update on the power control model and fixed a wheel speed sensor. While on the freeway about 9 miles away from the dealership the lights (ABS and traction control) came back on and the rpms went up. The vehicle was in cruise control and the vehicle had a 5mph loss in speed but went back up to 65mph with the raise in rpms. …”
NHTSA complaint #11099864, filed 2018-06, 646 miles“My car started off with the engine light coming on and then soon after, as I slowed down and turned, my engine shut off, I lost all power steering, and the battery remained on. This has happened since many times and is completely random. (doesn't matter if I just started the car, I've been driving for 20 minutes, warm weather / cold weather, it just happens when it happens.) more recently, the tcs (traction control system) will turn on randomly. (I have footage of the road being 100% clear while this is on in my car.) it will not shut off once it turns on. …”
