The issue began approximately mid-may �17 while my car was in motion on the highway (55mph speed limit, same speed limit for each time I experienced the issues in this summary). I honked my horn and pressed on my brakes (due to another car making an unsafe lane change into my lane). Simultaneously, as I honked the horn the engine light displayed on then went off immediately after I lifted off of the horn. Additionally, the rpm gauge immediately dropped down to zero, the car drastically slowed down, my a/c stopped working as well as the cooling system for my seats. My car had the ability to still accelerate but, it was extremely slow to pick up speed. Furthermore, every time I had to slow down or come to a complete stop my car was extremely slow to pick up speed. Every symptom lasted until I parked my car that day. I returned to my car hours later and turned it on and it was like the car reset itself. The rpm gauge, acceleration and a/c was back to normal. This issue has occurred multiple times and most recently on 9/28/17. This is a link to a video I found that shows similar issues I have been experiencing (https://youtu. Be/qulsdy-umdk).
