| My wife and i recently took a 5,000 mile road trip. the first 4,000 miles we had no problems. however, when we were about 900 miles from home, we started having problems. we got ready to leave the hotel one morning and the esc off light was on as well as the check engine light. you could floor the gas pedal, but only got 1,000 rpm's. the engine would run, but it had no power. i turned it off to go check it out, and when i came back the esc light was gone, but the check engine light remained on the rest of the way home. the first day this happened, we got to 250 before it went into coast. after that, we could only drive about 70+ miles before it would start coasting again and we would have to find a place to pull off the road, turn the engine off and then restart it. it would run another 70+ miles and would do it all over again. the tms light would come on intermittently as well. at one point, i called our local dealer and he stated that it would be ok to drive it home in this condition. the main problem was in big cities (finding a place to pull over with the traffic) also, there was a lot of road construction with one lane traffic and nowhere to pull off. you can imagine the stress we were under. the reason for this letter, is mainly to make you aware of the problem. needless to say, it could have been tragic. but, we were definitely lucky and were always able to pull over out of traffic going 75 mph. updated 10/20/11 *bf | |||
