What's Wrong With My Car?
I came off the highway this morning and was stopping at the light at the bottom of the hill on the exit and my engine light comes out and it says engine power lost. I'm only able to do about 15 MPH's per hour now. Some type of belt problem? I'm a moran when it comes to cars.

I really don't know shit about cars, so I always start with the same thing and I learned it here on Chiefsplanet. Check your blinker fluid. That's helped me out more times than I can count!

I'd alsmost venture to say if it 'just' now happened, and hasn't been a detoriating issue, it could be electrical. Since electrical either works, or doesn't.
Usually 'Bulletins' aren't covered (no cost) once out of warranty. Sounds like you should still be covered?
