Drivetrain Malfunction

I was getting onto the highway when all of a sudden, the Drivetrain Malfunction screen pops up and I loose all power. At about 65 mph the car is shacking horribly. If I slow down, the vibration goes away. It is a 2013 with 54K miles. It is in the shop now awaiting to hear what they found. Thank goodness for extended warranty.

I had this happen and it was a misfire. I bought new plugs and coils since I had 52k on them anyway

Just happened to me last week on my way to and from Vegas. It was kind of scary driving in 110F weather with the car struggling to climb hills. Anyways, dealership got it fixed under CPO warranty. Something to do with loss of pressure in the turbo.

So it turned out to be a bad coil and plug. Getting it fixed under warranty minus the plug.
