Hi,

I dont know if anyone else has experienced this, but when I was driving yesterday I had the engine system fail !
I was drving at around 45 Mph when I switched the Cruise control ON. Immediately after that I hit the brake and switched the cruise off by using the tap switch on the wheel. Something must have happened to the on board computer, because the display reported a "DSC failure" and a "Engine system failure" with yellow and red indicators on the dash lighting up. After this, the car would not allow me to go beyond 30 Mph even if I tried to accelerate and I had to pull into a gas station to switch the engine off and restart. After that, everything was fine...I could not duplicate the error and my guess is that some series of events screwed up the computer and it thought that everything had failed.

Just wondering if someone else might have had the same problem...any thoughts ??
