Started vehicle which had been running perfectly fine, just got a oil change a few days prior. Started driving and the car starts sputtering like it was going to die. The etc symbol started to flash and car would only go 5-10 MPH when this happened I was already driving at 40MPH when the car just started to slow down to the 5 miles and sputter.
