Drivetrain malfunction

Interesting one here. So I was on the express way with open road ahead, so I put the hammer down from about 60 up to 90’ish. The car started to feel like it was sputtering, went into limp mode, and kicked out the infamous “Drivetrain malfunction” message.



Got home, turned the car off and let it sit for about 5 mins. When I started it back up its like the ECU lost its mind. It said service was overdue from 1/1/2006 and that it needed an oil change. Let it run for a little bit, and shut it down again. Now when I start it everything is fine. I plugged in my scanner and there are no codes. Thoughts on what to do, and before you say “take it to the dealership”, my dealership won’t acknowledge there is a problem unless there are codes. I know, it sucks, but I have to deal with that.
