I haven't had any problems with either my Fusion or Spyder. Hopefully, never will. Since they are parked next to each other in the garage, I just hope if there is a problem it doesn't "limp" between vehicles. Dale

The very first limp mode i have ever experienced was on a 04 dodge 2500 hemi, it would run fine for 3 hrs, then without warning it would go into limp mode and would not go over 40mph, took it to every dealership i could find, no one could figure it out, i got rid of it!!

First one I experienced was with a 1996 Dodge Caravan. The tranny put it into limp mode, and limited it to 2nd gear and about 20 mph. It was a long drive to the dealership 12 miles away. It never came home...traded it in on the spot, despite warranty coverage for the trans.

Remember to retard the timing on the magnito and carry a spare set of generator brushes and you will never get a limp mode!!!

I had the same problem with my '89 Plymouth Voyager and '94 Caravan.

I had one recently on my Expedition. Limited it to 50 mph until I got to the dealer. Quick fix and back on the road. No trial and error needed.
