Car nearly stalls when starting from stop after sitting at light or intersection when in regular (not sport) mode. Especially occurs when having to turn from a stop and accelerate faster. Have almost been hit by oncoming traffic several times. Does not occur in the other modes. Very scary! ?fuel pump or other defect? city and county roads. Reproducible.
First time, I was driving in the middle lane on interstate at highway speed, all of sudden the accelerator would not respond, the car panel went black, no lights or info showed. I coasted off to the side of the road, the car was in drive, ignition on. The emergency light wouldn't go on. I shut the car down and into park and waited a couple of minutes and restarted the engine without a problem.

I shut the car down and into park and waited a couple of minutes but car would not restart. I rocked the car side to side and the car started. I took to the dealer, they pressure tested fuel pump and found a slight pressure drop once during the test. Replaced fuel pump at 18,000 miles.
