“Riding my 2008 Can-Am se5 spyder I was traveling north on i95 at 75mph attempting to pass a semi when the spyder starts to buck, & lose power and the dash lights up. Engine light, vss light and dps problem scrolling. Terrifying to all of a sudden have no power while all around u are doing 70 and your 3 lanes away from a turn off w/ little power and erratic steering.. I got off to the side and turned everything off and back on & fault was still there. Did it again & it was gone, so I cautiously got back on the freeway, only to have it happen again 20 miles later. Again surrounded by semis. …”
