This past weekend my better half and I were on the highway heading home. I had the cruise set at 70 or so and everything was just fine UNTIL out of the blue the esp light goes on and the Nitro goes into a "semi stall" for lack of better words. It didnt last very long as when I went to hit the accelerator everything was back to normal. Also I tapped the esp off switch to see if that was the problem??? That is kinda scary when you are cruising along and you feel this sudden loss of power....and again it only lasted a few seconds. What is going on? Has only happened that one time.

What were the weather conditions like? Raining, dry...?

You are probably right...yes it is below freezing here in good ole Ohio..haha. This has never happened before so I just wanted to see what everyone thought it might be which from what I can tell it must be normal.
