Is it common? Please no smartass comments

I wouldn't be worried, I was once sitting my ss and suddenly my overspeed light appeared. WTF

Check your fault codes. Engine light generally means a code was logged.

Mzak89, do you mean the speed alert? If so, how fast were the wheels turning and what was it set at?

Yeh the speed alert the wheels were spinning quickly my front windscreen was covered with smoke within 10 seconds my limit is set at 110

2nd or 3rd gear? Can't be first because you can't spin that high in first, unless it wasn't the speed alert light.

Powertrain light, ur trans was overloaded temporarily, logging a stored fault for powertrain

Something to worry about?

Shouldn't be, likely it was just the car trying to stop it destroying itself. Torque and rev limiters.

hehehehe generally happens when a neutral snap skids done in an auto, i had one and it did the same thing, 1st time is nothing to worry about but try not to do it again or after a while the auto will make some very strange noises hahaha
