Urgent....... Traveling @ 65 mph in the hov lane of the 405 freeway the mil ( malfunction indicator lamp ) showed a trans fault, and the engine was shut down!!! I turned on the emergency flashers, and coasteed to a stop. There was not a chain reaction event. After stooping i removed the key, as a possible ignition switch over heat issue , it was not hot. I replaced the key and turned the ignition on , and the engine started, i placed it in gear, and the vehicle moved forward in limp home mode. I am familiar with obd 2, and know that no system should ever shut the engine down at highway speeds. A subsequent review on google showed numerious complaints concerning the same problem, vehicle engine shut down at highway speeds ! What do i want. I want the nhtsa to open an investigation as to what is the fix for what appears to be a programming design flaw of the ecm or tcm. I know the fix for the trans fault mil light, a loose snap ring on the front clutch drum of the zf-24 5 speed trans. That problem will be fixed, however, no driver should ever experience an engine shut down, when a fault code is displayed. If a fix is not published, people will die, if they haven't already!!!

This has been an ongoing problem for the past year. My 2003 jaguar vanden plas goes into limp mode and the car will barely move. It is a hazard, especially if there is no place to pull over. Diagnosed as a throttle body problem which is a well known issue that jaguar refuses to address. Usually a restart will correct it. This time it does not correct and will cost $3,000 to correct the problem. *tt
