What does this mean?

Does anyone know what these 3 yellow lights mean? They have been showing up periodically since October. When they come on my car takes forever to accelerate beyond 30mph. The issue is solved by turning the car off, then back on. Has this happened to anyone else? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Sam.

Triangle with ! light: VSA (vehicle stability assist) is disabled
VSA light: Problem with the VSA system
Engine light: Check engine, could be caused by anything

Car sounds like it's in limp mode. My guesses would be a bad APP or speed sensor, but impossible to tell for sure without the check engine codes. Some auto parts stores (autozone) will read codes for free, otherwise you can usually rent a scan tool from any parts store and read the codes yourself.

I'm also smelling a bad APP sensor.

Try getting the codes scanned, some places do it for free.

Not trans. I smell app sensor aswell. Have you pulled codes. If you don't have a Code reader, any AutoZone, O'Reillys or such place can read your codes for free and tell you what they are. Codes will help you figure out what the problem is and if you're not able to you can post those codes on these here forums as Eric the car guy would say. I'm sure that many of us will be able to help you.
