Description of the problem	While driving on the i495 beltway in md a warning chime sounded and the driver's display stated the " service traction control, service stabilitrak", then displayed "engine power reduced" . This occurred while driving at 60mph in heavy traffic. Loss of power made it very difficult to maneuver the vehicle from the center highway lanes to the shoulder. Loss of power nearly caused an accident due to cars traveling at speed from behind. Wife and two young children in the car at the made situation extremely stressful!!

This process worked but we had the repeat the process two more times during the 40+ mile drive home.
