“As I was driving on 95n of college park, md, my vehicle power seem to shutdown on the highway and the reduce power engine message appeared in my instrumentation panel. Fortunately I was close to the emergency pull off of the left lane to get out of traffic. I turned the truck off and back on, and the message went a way. I was able to continue to with my journey. However, just recently, it has done it again, this time my speed was around 35mph. Once again, I turned it off, than on and the message went away and I had power in my acceleration again. This is very dangerous. …”
