Consumer was traveling 60mph in a 65mph zone. Passing another vehicle going 60mph he floored throttle and ets light came up on dashboard. Vehicle went down to 2,000 rpm's. Consumer pulled over, and read manual, starting vehicle back up and it happened again. Dealer didn't know what to do. They had to inspect it for problem. The tube going from behind the grill to the air cleaner inlet was collapsing causing lack of air flow to the engine. The tube was removed and the problem was solved.
