| Power Train problems |
Repeatedly since I have owned the vehicle, the traction control and check engine icons will come on and the vehicle will lose power. It has been in the shop several times but they clearly are guessing. It happened most recently just last week. It usually happens upon startup, but sometimes while driving also. Sometimes restarting the car makes the icons go away, sometimes not.
