i have a very similar problem in my car. i tried having them pull the codes but no luck. my car goes into limp mode at least once a day and the ASR light doesnt come on everytime, it comes on maybeonce for every 7 times the car goes into limp mode. this has been a major pain since getting the car about 2 months ago. if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share. as for ARIF, i share your pain man. sorry i couldnt offer any advice.
