Add me the list of people with the brake/vdc/slip light on issue. It happened a second time from a cold start for me today. However I don't have the loss of acceleration thing going on. The car milage is about 24k (no brakes changed yet.) However I did recently changed my wheels (different manufacturer but same exact specs/size.)
I don't know what the deal is. I've about 3 more months left on the warrenty and will take it in asap.

alright i am not sure if i am having the same problem as you all. You guys are having your slip lights go on and your engine service light go on and stay on?
Me when i am at a light and i try to accelerate fast from the red sometimes it flashes slip for second and i can sorta feel it not pickup speed for that split second and that light appears for a blink of an eye and goes off and my car works fine right after it goes off.. its starting to happen more and more.
It never happened before then it happened once when i was making a turn fast now its doing it more and more
is this leading to the problem you all have or is it just because my wheels dont have traction when i try to accelerate fast off a red and it doesnt always happen when i try to accelerate just sometimes.
opinions please? and also if this is an early case of what your all going through can i go to the dealership and talk to them about the problem now and they can fix it before it becomes serious maybe?

This thread seems to be the closest to my current issue.
I was driving yesterday and the SES light came on. I noticed there was almost zero acceleration going on and I had to really punch it just to make it through traffic. Once I pulled over, I turned the car off, sat for 5 mins, then restarted it...
Back to normal with the SES light still on.
This morning I punched it to 60mph as usual, and there were no problems.
I'm gonna have my guy read the codes tonight and see what's going on.

if you are having no acceleration at all from the engine no matter you are on P or D, and it is not an intermittent problem but just there is no "reset" after turning off the car, it is probable a problem with the gas pedal, and most probably is a rubber bump located at the top of gas pedal assembly
