2007 LR3 -- the Reduced Engine Performance message came on a couple times in the last week--but there was no difference in driving. today it came on again while driving then after about 5 minutes the message was gone. 10 minutes later I pulled into a parking lot and I didn't even notice that the engine had shut down--I was frantically trying to handle the steering-and managed to get it into a parking spot while it was rolling.
I turned the key off and then restarted--no problem and no message. went in and finished shopping--drove about 15 minutes to get home again everything was fine (needless to say driving home I drove in the slow lane in case I had to pull over and took the back roads)
Thing is it's pretty freaking crazy when all of a sudden there is no power and no warning--I was lucky I was in a parking lot when it happened--
the battery is less than a year old--as is the alternator and starter.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this occur or if anyone has any idea what the problem was --before I take it into the shop??
Thanks
Ron
