Exclamation Loss of Power in my X, seeking advice.

Hey guys,

Basically the issue is that every now and then, my X experiences this sudden loss of power. For example, i was pulling into a parking spot yesterday while my steering wheel was turned all the way to the left. When I tried to reverse, the steering wheel locked, and my X just stalled on me. The instrument cluster was basically in the "off" position, and all the panel lights were lit. I shifted it back into park, and restarted the car, and everything was fine. This is quite a risky situation if it happens on the highway or somewhere where i can't immediately pull over.

Couple months back, my dad was driving the X and told me a similar story, but in his case, he was on a main road with heavy traffic. He let it roll to the side of the road, and restarted the engine. We went to the dealership and they checked it out and road tested it reporting no problems or specific issues.

So I'm thinking of going back and asking them to take another look at it. Just wondering what you guys think of this or if it could be an issue with a specific part?

Thanks

I just realized I made a thread about this back in March....that's when it first occured. I haven't had an issue with this problem ever since...just recently came back.

oh wow, great deal of info there lol.

now that i think of it, it always has occured when i'm making sharp left turns at slow speeds. i'm gonna take it to the dealership to see what they have to say. could my cold air intake have anything to do with this? I read something about the MAF...mass air flow meter?
