Certain times while driving, the traction assist comes on, and all power is lost to the engine. Lights are still on, car is still on, but gas does not accelerate and car is hard to steer. I have had to pull over 6 times in the last few months, turn the car off, restart and hope it does not happen again.

1) on interstate I-495 long island expwy, car moving slow came from on ramp straight across to middle lane. Went to accelerate to pass in left lane and engine stopped. Putted on emergency flashers and was able to pull into hov shoulder and restart engine. 2) on northern state pkwy (2 lanes only) on long island, NY and was in right lane- saw oncoming traffic merging ahead and went to give gas to move over to left lane and engine stopped. Again- moved to shoulder, restarted engine. 3) was doing 65 on njtpke I-95N in left lane between cars and trucks on right. Engine stopped (no acceleration- just straight driving). I was between vehicles and no place to pull over- put car into N and restarted and back to drive. This happened again- did same thing. When it was clear- pulled over to right shoulder- turned car off and restarted and continued trip. ** could this be part of the recent recall on caddys 2005-11 but did not include Sts's"??" just for the record- have new air filter and sprayed both the maf and throttle body valve with correct cleaners- recently- after seeing a video on caddy complaint forum.

Car lurched to left into oncoming lane, braking as it veered left. Had I been driving 70 on freeway, I believe there would have been a major accident.
