WHILE PASSING A TRUCK ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY APPARENTLY THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR FALSELY EXECUTED A "SLOW DOWN" MODE THAT REDUCED 8 CYLINDERS TO 4 DEPOWERING THE CAR AND NEARLY GETTING ME KILLED AS I COULD NOT COMPLETE THE PASS. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND DEALERS IN PENNSYLVANIA AND WASHINGTON STATE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE. UPON SEARCHING THE WEB THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL LATE MODEL FERRARI V8 MODELS INCLUDING OUR 360 AND THE 430. HTTP://ALDOUSVOICE.COM/2012/12/27/FERRARI-360-SLOW-DOWN/ IF YOU GOOGLE "FERRARI SLOW DOWN WARNING" YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL THE AUTOMOBILES. THESE CARS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THERE ARE MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. UPDATED 10/07/15*LJ UPDATED 11/01/2017*CN
