I got one similar. Mine read "Chassis Malfunction: Drive Moderately".

Do you have DHP? I do and the culprit was a faulty front acceleration sensor. Happened about 9 months ago.

I'm sure a mod will move it over to the right section.

I'd take your car over to the dealer and have them check it out. I know there were a couple of other members with the same error message and the dealer also replaced their front acceleration sensor and that seemed to do the trick.

thanks fecurtis, i'll stop by the dealer and see what they say. I restarted the car and the error message is gone. Hopefully the code is stored and they can figure out what was wrong.

Yeah I had the same problem and yes the code will be stored so when you take it in they'll have a log of it.

Initially they couldn't find the problem and then a couple weeks later, the message reappeared. It was then they replaced that sensor.

Another member had the same message, and it was caused by the hood improperly closed.
The F3x hoods are held by two independent latch, and it's fairly easy to have one of them not fully hooked.
