Haha 70 mph fast enought. Thats what my mom said.
But mmm no I didnt have it tuned maybe previous owner but ive has,a for a few months now and it just started doing this. But when I take traction control off it passes 70????

I'm with the other guys in asking, "has anyone touched the tune at anytime for any reason?" I don't see why it would do that for no reason, and only at 70mph if the limiter wasn't messed with.

- The bogging when you hit the accelerator is classic dirty or bad MAF. Exactly what code were you getting?
- The traction control system doesn't work at those speeds, so the low trac light it is telling you that the ABS/TCS system is detecting a wheel slip. This could be a number of issues from a tire mismatch to a sticking brake to a bad wheel sensor. What are the sizes and types of your four tires?

My car is auto and wen I step on it it bogs also. And my two back tires are 275/45/17 but they are diff brand? My two front are 235/50/17 same brand. Will the diff tire brands cause that? Thanks for the help guys

I'd clean the MAF first thing and see if that makes a difference, if no try finding a friend or another MAF you can borrow for testing purposes, if no change, I'd look deeper into tire sizes and such.

This happened to two members on here with two different solutions. Both had your problem. The one was the throttle body was getting caught where it wouldnt open and he found where the cable was getting caught. The other was he just needed a new maf.
