Dangerous

<p>I had a RaceChip Pro 2 module installed in my car.</p> <p> </p> <p>While driving to town to take my daughters to school I floored the pedal to overtake a couple of slow moving vehicles. As I went past the first car (in the oncoming traffic lane) the car went into limp mode. The engine light came on and the car lost power. I was unable to complete the overtaking maneuver and with cars to my left and oncoming traffic I was very fortunate to get the car off the road without incident. This was at standard chip settings and without any additional load or any performance additions to the car except for the chip.</p> <p> </p> <p>This chip as a dangerous addition to any vehicle. It will not fail you while driving leisurely around town, it will fail you when you need it the most. Whether it is during an overtaking maneuver or while towing a caravan up a hill, etc. </p>
