hi all,

im only new here and hope someone can give me ideas on what the problem could be with my car.
ive only had my 2007 ve calais for 6 weeks and today i was in the car for 2 mins and the alarm went off and it came up saying check engine, then it went into safety mode, then it came up reduced power and esp turned off. the car wouldnt go over about 60lms an hour. i tried turning it on and off a few times and it kicked over very gingerly and came up the same things.
rang holden and they advised me not to drive it to them, have it towed. so its been towed there this arvo. freaking out its going to cost me a bloody tonne.
