While driving in rainy weather for approximately one hour, I went to accelerate to pass a car and there was a loss of power, amber waning light came on, engine light came on and I could not go faster than 35 MPH. This could have caused a serious accident but I was able to slow down enough to get back in the slow lane. Car had to be towed to dealer the next day.
