Description of the problem	On four separate occasions while driving down a major highway our highlander has totally lost engine power; pushing the accelerator would cause the engine to cough an sputter; and we had to get off of the road and kill the engine. After a few minutes the engine would restart. Only once was the dealer able to pick-up any code or reason and it was noted to have been an engine miss, and the technician said it may have been a bad fuel issue. I am seeing recalls for 2018 & 2019 toyota and lexus vehicles due to a fuel pump issue and i am writing because i believe our 2017 highlander may have the same issue. One strange circumstance with all 4 times is that we were changing lanes to the left, there would be a short beep and the check engine light would come on and i am also wondering if the issue could be caused by one of the new safety sensors. Our lane change sensor was never on, but our blind spot monitor (bsm) was on and at one time there was a notice to a bsm issue, but the dealer cannot find any issues in the diagnostics. The first 3 times the check engine light would not come back on after the car restarted and the dealer could not find any codes, but the last time the check engine light stayed on for 2 days and that is when the dealer diagnosed an engine miss. This last time my wife had 18 wheelers on both sides of her and one behind her. Thank god the driver behind her was paying attention.
