What owners wrote
While driving on interstate 17w going to deposit, ny, I suddenly saw an error message on the dashboard that read "service traction control", then it read "traction control off" and then the last thing that read was "engine power is reduced". That's when my car dropped from going 60 MPH on cruise control to 20 MPH and I could not accelerate. Thankfully, I was already in the right lane and was able to pull onto the shoulder.
Takata recall upon shift into drive gear shifts but read partially in park which makes vehicle stall in drive! Computer states traction is off! Button for tran toon does nothing! Warning service stabilitytrak! Car was parked overnight next day upon getting ready to leave I experienced the above!
