I have had this problem and I know a lot of others are having it too. When I'm driving the car's check engine light will come on will randomly and code saying engine power reduced. My car's engine power will reduce and I will no longer be able to accelerate and the car slows down. This happens at random times: On the freeway, in town, at stop lights, going up hills, on flat ground, when I first turn my car on, after driving for 5 hours. There is no pattern. After I turn my car off for a couple minutes, the light turn off and my car runs ok again. It happen at least once a week, but sometimes 4 or 5 times week.
