While driving on the highway that alert came up saying your car is not working at its full capacity your power train is defective. That may not be the exact wording however, very close to it. After the warning came on, my car slowed down as though it did not want to drive and I had a very difficult time to get over on the freeway.. it would not accelerate. It was very terrifying. It happened on more than one occasion approximately three times and when I took it to the shop the dealer said this was related to the fuel system. I got it fixed approximately three weeks ago and as of yet it has not happened again. I will continue to watch it because this would not happen every time I drove the car, it happened sporadically.
