No power to accelerate

Asked by Samantha Apr 08, 2018 at 07:39 PM about the 2011 Toyota Highlander Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had my oil changed, fuel injector cleaner added,
and my tires rotated in my 2011 toyota highlander
at Walmart today. That's my first mistake, I know.
When I got a few miles away, I tried to accelerate
and my check engine light and traction control light
came on and my car started sputtering and acting
like it wasn't getting gas to the engine. Any ideas
what it could be?

Check the oil level in case they forgot the oil. After that have the trouble codes read at your local auto parts store.

The trac system was kicking in causing the vehicle to go into limp mode. They rotated your tires correct? I'm guessing they messed up one of the speed sensor/wiring.
