Driving the car, on a highway at approx. 75 mph, check engine light comes on and dashboard states "engine power restricted". Now the car has little power and takes 18 seconds to get from 0-60 making it a road hazard. The vehicle only has 42,000 miles on it.

3 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/25/2020

I was stationary at a red light on highway 49 with my foot on the breaks, and when the light turned green I let my foot up off the breaks and the car just shut off. I tried to turn the car back on, but still nothing. I waited a few seconds and the car started back up, so I put it in drive and started driving, but when I tried to slow down the breaks were very tight. For an hour and a half, I sat there and tried to figure out what was wrong with the car. I found nothing, so I got back into the car and cranked it and the check engine light came on. I got the car to star Chevrolet and they diagnosed the problem as the brake vacuum pump.
