Lots of things. Have you had the dongles put on the cam sensors to prevent oil wicking into the wiring harness? Replaced the $12 hose?
Check engine light on? Any errors?

no errors mb replaced the hose themselves as part of a campaign and I have no idea about the dongles. I did get it serviced right before this started happening. no CE Light just I shift and the esp comes on i still get some power transfer but it feels like I am driving on a sponge liike only part of the power is going to my wheels.

It's difficult to determine exactly what you are experiencing from your description.
A bad wheel sensor causes a wierd issue when accelerating hard, the esp abs etc blinks...
maybe a video explanation would help.
