So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
As I was pulling on to the highway the traction control light and the engine light came on. I then noticed the vehicle was underpowered, like one cylinder was deactivated. Called my dealer from highway who advised that they were closing in 5 mins and to not turn it off as it may not restart and I may be stranded on highway. Dealer felt that it was just bad gas, but I made an appointment to have them check out the car the next day. Drove at reduced speed to my house, turned car off and a few minutes later restarted van and all the lights went out and the car performed as normal. The dealer inspection the next day indicated a cylinder engine code, and not to worry as it was probably bad gas. This doesn't seem right since the car corrected itself with a restart and no change to the gas.
