Yesterday afternoon when I took it out, the vsa and the vtm4-lock lights were on and wouldn't go off. And the drive extremely sluggish. No acceleration and it wouldn't go any higher that 25 mph. Even getting it to 25 mph took over 1-2 minutes, felt like eternity. Made it to pohanka finally. Couldn't accelerate to merge, couldn't go uphill on even slight inclines, this is a safety issue. What if this happens .
