The back door was not closed properly, ran the battery down. Jumped it and it started no problem, but when I went to drive it it would not go over 20 mph. No noise or shaking while driving, radio, windows everything works!

Here is a link to an article form this site that features written instructions, pictures and a video explaining how to load test your battery yourself. I have also included a link to another article form this site that features written instructions and pictures explaining how to scan for codes yourself, and a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one from Amazon.com.

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.
