So today I went to take my car (~3000KM) to the gas station and fill up, got about a kilometer from my house when the car entered limp mode and I got two warnings, Forward Collision Warning, and Powertrain malfunction/reduced power. I limped the car back home and upon looking it over noticed the pre collision sensor in the center of the windshield had some bug spatter on it, I cleaned the spatter off and then started the car again and the warnings were all gone! (Two previous restarts did not make warnings go away) Took the car back out to go and get gas and made the full trip with no apparent issues. Plugged the car into a scanner and no faults were found. Curious to see if anyone else has had this issue and if something so minuscule was truly the cause of the car going into limp mode or if it's a different issue.
