Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving the car to work one morning. i stopped to make a left turn. i proceeded to accelerate, but the car had very little power. i could only go a maximum of 20 mph. i had to pull-over onto the shoulder so that i didn't get rear-ended by oncoming traffic. i decided to 'limp" home about 1/2 mile, again the car would not go faster than 20 mph. my husband checked out the car later that day, and everything seems to be back to normal however the ets light is on the dash-board. i am concerned this may happen again. i am told it costs over $1,000 to repair. *nm
