problem #2

Feb 292012

535 6-cyl

  • 24,000 miles
Car starts normally. Upon reaching cruising speed car engine warning light comes on and car immediately reduces engine power. This happens randomly, and has happened on side roads and freeways. I have to pull over immediately and shut off car, wait, and re-start car. Later, and randomly same thing happens again. Scary.
