Your engine may suddenly reduce speed to 30 mph and display warning lights including the check engine light, traction control, and a red lightning bolt (electronic throttle control). This happens when your car's computer detects a problem and enters a safety mode that limits power to help you safely pull over. The issue is typically a calibration mismatch between your gas pedal position sensor and the electronic throttle control system. A recalibration procedure or replacement of the throttle body and related sensors may be needed to restore normal operation.
