| While driving home from work, approximately 35 miles into a 40-mile trip, my traction control warning light turned on. the driver information center (dic) indicated service traction control, engine power reduced. the vehicle's power was then reduced, and i was unable to maintain my speed (approximately 52 mph), and my car slowed down due to a lack of power, and i was only able to achieve 40 mph. i pulled into a parking lot, turned the car off for about five minutes. i then restarted the car. the same warning light turned on and the dic showed the same information: service traction control, engine power reduced. while i was attempting to complete my trip home, the warning light cleared, and the power in the car returned to normal. on 12/22/12 in the morning, i brought my car to my local dealership for normal maintenance and to have the above problem investigated. nothing came of the investigation. on 12/26/12, again on my way home from work, about 39 miles into a 40-mile trip, the traction control warning light turned on, and the dic displayed the same information as before: service traction control, engine power reduced. i immediately drove to the dealership. i ended up leaving the car there for two days and picked the car up on 12/28/12 evening. no problems were found. later that evening, the same event occurred, this time about 52 miles into a 55-mile trip. this same event has occurred once more last evening (12/31/12), again on the way home from work. the message cleared once i parked the car and waited a least a few minutes to allow the computer to reset(?) the same event has occurred four times since 12/21/12, and my concern is that at some point the power might be reduced at a critical time during one of my trips. i searched you database, and unfortunately, there are no other reports of a similar nature. *tr | |||
