Description of the problem	When i am driving, both freeway and city driving, the car will stutter slightly and then the esc off light comes on along with the check engine light. When this happens i lose acceleration and have to pull over, turn my car off, wait a minute or two, and then restart the car. The esc off light goes away and i once again have acceleration but the check engine light remains on. The problem often repeats itself during the same trip, sometimes 30 minutes later, sometimes just 2 minutes later. The stop lamp switch was replaced during the recall campaign 09v122 when the same problem was occurring. A few months ago this started again, it is all the same issues as i had before the stop lamp switch was replaced during the last recall. Because i lose acceleration with no warning and quickly fall to 20mph and below, i have to quickly pull over to the side of the road and do my best to avoid an accident which is difficult when you are losing momentum.
