While driving vehicle goes into "engine power is reduced mode" preventing any accelaration. once you tap the brakes - that is your new maximum speed. if going up an incline and you slow down - new maximum speed. the vehicle will not accelerate. to make a left turn - the vehicle has to be restarted before there is any sort of power/acceleration to cross the road. a very dangerous situation especially if you cannot easily pull to the right side of the road out of harms way. this has happened 3 times with a brand new 2016 chevy suburban. resulting in a close call to an accident. when getting towed the vehicle didn't have enough power to drive up the tow truck bed and had to be winched up.
