There may not be anything wrong. Top speed is controlled by the computer. At my job we had a Ford Focus delivery vehicle. It's top speed was 80 MPH. Once you hit 80 a chime would sound and a message would come up on the instrument cluster "You have reached the maximum speed of this vehicle 80 MPH." Hope that helps! Jim
