Is your vehicle stuck in ‘limp home mode’?

Limp mode is a security feature that is present on a lot of newer cars. It is activated when the computer (or transmission control unit) picks up a major fault. It is considered a warning that there is something going on with your car that needs mechanical attention but it allows for safe travel, so that you can get to the garage or mechanic to have it checked. During the warning being triggered, many internal systems in the car will stop working, so the car can concentrate on 'limping home'! You may notice that the air conditioning and other non-essential systems stop working and your car will only travel at a slow speed.

Limp mode is definitely not something that can or should be ignored as it is an indicator of something critical going on with your car's mechanical performance. It could be related to engine transmissions, brakes or faulty sensors.
