Ive got a 2004 N.A. and my wife just called and said the car runs and drives it just has hardly any power to go and is real slow to go , please help , she says she had pushed the pedal to the metal and the engine wont pick up speed , was running just fine , happened after 25mins of driving , just as she pulled into work , any thoughts , please help.

 

I'm guessing transmission problems and the car has gone into the transmission limp mode. Limp mode uses only one tranny speed (second and reverse I believe) and the revs are limited to prevent trouble.

Probably a problem on the electrical plate assembly if my guess is correct.

 

thank you , is that a easy fix or is it going to be a dealer thing , we just bought this car and my wife loves it the warranty kicks in in 1000 miles or thirty 30days and the thirty day mark is Friday Nov. 1 st , just courios , thank you .

 

If you have a warranty, then it's a dealer thing. Those plates ain't cheap, and the DIY ain't easy, not to mention it's a messy job.
If you DO get it done under warranty, make sure they also change the filter and flush / change the fluid.

 

Thank you for the input , just got off the phone with the dealer , its close enough for the warranty , so I guess that's where its going to go , and I will make sure and tell them to flush the system too . you guys are the bomb , thanks again , will keep you updated , just found out we get a rental car too . not bad 100.00 deductible , worth it I guess , anyway have a good day .
