Multiple lights flashed on the dash. I coasted to the shoulder of the road. After I stopped, all the lights on the dash had gone out but the engine was still running. It responded normally after that. Dealership said a communication code showed but was not related to my issue. I had three other loss of power incidents since all at low speed, either starting from a stop or attempting acceleration after a turn. …”
