Vehicle randomly cuts power to engine. While vehicle is in motion, stability control symbol flashes when accelerator is pressed and power is cut from the engine causing vehicle to slow. Releasing accelerator allows vehicle to coast and stability control symbol on dash goes away. As soon as accelerator is pressed again, stability control symbol flashes and power is once again cut from engine. Very scary on freeway.…
