Description of the problem	This incident has occurred 4 times in the 17,000 miles now on the vehicle. Each time i was driving on or off a ramp. Speed estimate 30 to a max of 40 mph. The car starts to die and i have to struggle to get off to the edge of the road so vehicles do not hit me from behind. It just loses all power but doesn't quite stall. Once i pull over, take my foot off the gas, the engine recovers and has ran fine. I do believe i caught a glimpse of the "red light" that came on 4/11 as i was going up a ramp to my doctors office. The light doesn't come on all the way because the car and never totally dies......... It appears to be a car with swerve marks behind. I took this car in the same week on 4/07 and they said the car is operating "as designed" and couldn't locate any problems. It seems to run great except for the 4 mishaps and it really scares me that someday i wouldn't be able to get off the road or a car will hit me from behind. There has to be a problem. I don't drive fast and i am definitely not skidding around the ramp. At age 61 i might not be doing the speed limit even. Help me?
