I am getting an error message:
1 - Service Vehicle Soon
2 - Safety Mode - Reduced Performance
I cannot drive more than 70 to 80 km/h
If I leave a car for 2 - 3 hours and start again, it performs normal.
I have faced the same problem twice before but dont know the reason.
It is happening every 4 or 5 days.
Kindly advise what exact service should I do since mechanics here are giving different opinions and I feeling lost.
Hope to hear on this matter.
Thanks

You most likely have an issue with the "drive by wire" electronic throttle system. You need to have the codes read for a starting point.
