1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 04/13/2021

As I was turning left from a stop light accelerating on the interstate on ramp from 20 to 40 mph (approximately) the "check engine light" came on, the engine slowed down and lost power, and "traction control light" came on even though it was not engaged. My speed control disengaged and would not work on cruise control. When I pulled in my garage (approximately 8 mi) shut the engine off and restarted all warning lights cleared and everything reset. This condition happened to me twicw in the same day. The sudeen loss of power is a serious safety issue.
