problem #1

Optima SX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 112,000 miles

My traction control light came on, it goes off when I cut the car off and turn it back on, then the light comes back once I am driving for a little. During this same time period my car seems to be dragging, like it doesn't have power to go or drops down a gear like I down shifted but my car is an automatic so I am not sure why this is happening. I worried my car is just going to stop in the middle of the highway. I will be taking it to the dealership soon but from past experience they have not been any help to me with this car. Does anyone else have this problem or had it before and got it fixed, let me know what they said, thanks.
