Local Advice/HELP!: Car died this AM!
Aight...so here's the deal. Mid last week, I had a synthetic oil change, the rear axle clicking TSB taken care of, and 285s put on the rear (which rub slightly...intend to have my fenders rolled).
Sunday morning I head up to near the Pennsylvania border ('round 1.5 hrs of driving), park the car, and return to it 'bout 45 min later. Turn the key over and it takes like 3-5 sec to start. And my check engine, VDC and slip lights were on. I was like...WTF! But once it was started it was fine. (One thing to mention too, my car slightly "bucked" a couple of times on the way up, which I sorta took as the slip engaging b/c of my bigger tires.)
I drive home fine, park the car for like 10 min, return to it, and this time it takes longer to start. Put it away for the night and start it up this morning (it started up pretty quick). But 'bout 5 minutes later it flat-out dies in the middle of the Wilson/Glebe intersection on the way to work. It eventually comes back on and I drive it home and have it towed to Rosenthal in Tysons.
So....I'm waiting on the dealership to get back to me. But anyone have an idea of what might be up? I certainly don't want to take the dealership's advise as golden. Rather have local input as well

well, I imagine they'll pull the codes at the dealership. haven't heard back yet.
what's the C1109 indicate? 'cause I'm at a loss as to why the VDC and Slip lights would come on, and that being connected to the car starting...
urrr...
