I was driving down a residential street when all of the sudden the engine stalled on me and I received a "failsafe engine mode" message in the message center. I stopped the car and shut off the engine, then waited a couple of minutes and started it again and had no problems. I was then driving down a residential street again a couple of days later and the same thing happened where the engine stalled on me. The only warning signs that I can recall were that at times, I would experience sluggish acceleration. This is a huge issue to me and very dangerous since I have a child and what if I was traveling on the highway and this happened to me?.
