Some of the newer cars have a "limp" mode when something happens that it loses track of MAP or an input sensor of some kind.....I would hit up the above website for better knowlege on those. My sister had a simliar issue with her Freestyle and it was a known issue of throttle body getting plugged/crapped up.
