While driving in rainy weather for approximately one hour, I went to accelerate to pass a car and there was a loss of power, amber waning light came on, engine light came on and I could not go faster than 35 mph. This could have caused a serious accident but I was able to slow down enough to get back in the slow lane. Car had to be towed to dealer the next day. The loner Evoque they gave me did the same thing in rainy weather on September 16, 2012.
Driving on the main hwy when I noticed that a indicated light appeared on the dashboard "transmission fault traction reduced". The car didnt handle any different so I immediately contacted the dealer via phone. Spoke to the service adviser who stated to pull off the road, turn off the motor and after a few mins restart it and that should clear the fault. If not, just make an appt for service. Unfortunately the problem was not cleared using the above restarting procedure. Upon arriving at the dealership for the next available appt 5 days later, the battery was supposedly dead and needs to be replaced according to them because they could not start the vehicle. Which is strange since prior to that I had no warning lights of any battery problems come on. A day later, the adviser called me again and stated that not only did I have a dead battery but the power pump differential to the transmission was found to be faulty and would be replaced. This is a 3yr old car with less than 32k miles on it with mostly hwy driving.
