| While driving down the highway the vehicle all of a sudden lost power and began to slow down. the traction control light turned on at this time. pushing the accelerator did nothing. when i switched the manual mode for the transmission the gear was not displayed on the dashboard and trying to up or downshift did nothing. after pulling off to the side of the road i was able to place the transmission in park. i lifted the hood and checked for fluid leaks or spills of which there were none. after turning off the car and waiting a couple of minutes i turned it back on and now had the traction control, at, and check engine lights lit. after putting the transmission in drive and pushing the accelerator the vehicle was extremely sluggish in acceleration and would shift through the first four gears but at rpms much higher than normal. i was able to limp the vehicle home as the dealership was already closed. after letting the vehicle sit for 15 minutes or so i turned it back on and now only the check engine light is lit. will be taking to the dealer in the morning. *tr | |||

| I was driving home on a busy highway but luckily crossing at an intersection with lights. i turned left and it was as if my car went in neutral. i hit the gas and i didn't go anywhere. i had to glide to the side of the road as cars were beeping at me. i noticed that the stability control light came on. i regularly turn left at other sections of this highway where there are no lights and you just have to go when you can make it through quick. what if this happened then? i would have been hit my multiple cars going very fast. the dealership said the computer needed to be reset and it should be fine. should be fine! i have a family and bought a new car so we are safe then this happens and i hear should be fine. *tr | |||

| I was driving on the freeway when suddenly the traction control indicator lit up on my dashboard. when i exited the freeway and attempted to make a left turn, my car suddenly lost power. it was as if my car was in neutral. i looked at the gear shift to ensure it was still in drive, and it was. somehow i made it through the turn and into a nearby parking lot. i turned the car off, waited a few minutes, and then was able to leave. it was scary and upsetting as my car is only 4 months old. the dealer said they won't be able to determine what happened since the indicator is no longer illuminated. i asked if there was any way at all to do a diagnostic test and they said no. i am having a hard time believing this. i'm just glad i wasn't rear ended with my grand baby in the back seat. | |||

| I was driving a steady 55 mph on the freeway on a dry sunny day with my wife and kids. the roads were smooth and dry, and the gas tank was 1/2 full. the car was 3 months old with 2700 miles on it. the car suddenly lost power and started to decelerate. the engine was still running, but pressing the gas pedal had no effect on engine rpm or vehicle speed. i looked down and the stability control light was on (steady lit, not blinking). i thought that maybe the stability control was confused, so i tried hitting the stability control switch to turn it off. no luck, the light was still on and the car continued to slow. i then moved the shift lever over to manually select gears since i though maybe the tranny was stuck in 6th gear - no luck as the display didn't even show what gear it was in. there was no freeway exit in sight and i was not able to coast to the next exit. i finally pulled over the car at less than 30 mph dodging cars zooming by at 60 mph. i turned off the car and restarted. the stability control light was now finally off and i was able to drive off. | |||
