About 1 stop sign away from my house (coming back home after a long day) my car won't rev. past 2.5k rpm. I notice a loud fan noise. I do not get any error messages on screen though. I restarted the car as soon as I got home but the fan noise went away and the car was back to normal. Has anyone else experienced this yet?

Is this limp mode? Should I bring it in?
had something very similar happen to me the other day on my way to work.

-was chilly outside
-i always drive real easy to work eco pro the whole way
-this time tho i noticed the oil temp stayed real low, was weird(usually is around 240 by the time i get to work, this time it was around 180
-when i got to work i too heard a very loud fan noise, at first i thought there was an 18 wheeler near me, it was that loud.
-never happened again.
