Sluggish accelaration and EP error code
Hi, I noticed a big sound and shake when I shifted the gear from P to D today. hmm, nothing to worry about I said to myself.
However I immediatly noticed the gear indicator is showing a "EP" instead of the usual "D/SD", and paddle shift stopped working. I also noticed it seems to stick with gear 1 or 2 and has trouble pulling the car forward at normal speed.
Oh the service light turned on too.
I guess I need to see a mechanic ASAP, I'm interested to know what's your thoughts? and if it can be a DIY job.
FYI my car is a 2006 S with paddle shift, milage is around 50k.
