| DRIVING AT A STEADY 65 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND RAPIDLY BEGAN DECELERATING. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DOWN RESULTED IN ONLY A MINOR CHANGE IN RPM. NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION AND MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. I TOOK THE NEXT EXIT AND JUST MADE IT HOME AS THE CAR WAS BARELY ABLE TO CLIMB THE SLIGHTEST GRADE. IT FELT LIKE I WAS PILOTING A LARGE MOTOR BOAT. AT HOME, I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED. TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN OFF AS IT NORMALLY DOES. THE LIGHT STAYED OFF AND THE CAR THEN PERFORMED NORMALLY. *TR | |
