NOT happy with the X...

Hey guys, i took a trip down to Seattle this weekend.
on the way there, on the I-5 doing about 80km(getting on a on-ramp), The X stalled for a quck sec., yellow ! light, abs, trac control, and ENGINE FAILSAFE PROG appeared.
I shut off the car and restarted it was normal...until another 5 min and same thing happend when STOPPING.
the lgihts went off and i continued to drive, and I went to pass a car and when i floored it, my check engine light flashed and stayed on.

I got to the hotel, and took on and off the connections to the battery and it was all fine, until on the way back home same situation; I depressed the accel to the floor and check engine light was blinking and then shut off...
wtf is going on!? dealer cant look at it until Thursday

Nothing worse than lots of red and yellow dash lights...maybe the computer? Hang in there and good luck.

Sorry, hope it doesn't costs you too much. I hate it when stuff like that happens. Can't really tell what the problem is. Initially I was thinking fuel pump, but with all those other things going on, don't know, could be O2 sensor, or other pollution device. Good luck.

Bro,

Today is Monday...you have an emergency...if that dealer won't acknowledge your need- find another dealer or independent shop to take your X to.

A quick search of the posts here resulted in:

Do a more detailed search and you might find more answers.
