Damn that waterpump demon!!
The electrical water pump demon that has haunted many many C32 owners has finally stuck his pitchfork into my electrical water pump. Twice today, I was driving and then I drive off a stop light and oh no... i dont feel the s/c engaging!!! I turn the car off, turn it back on, and it felt normal again. Then later tonight, it happend again after i saw a truck fly up on my rear end and i decided to punch it... loose him, then I slow down again and the demon owned me again. Good thing I caught it early... Im having my dealer order the parts to fix it ASAP and dropping it off when all the parts come in.

whats the symptom? not as much power as usual?
my car's a little weird when driving in "D" mode. it will be accelerating part throttle, then it feels like power drops a bit, then comes back. Also sometimes there's no power when it shifts into 3rd or 4th, and I press the throttle w/o downshifting

Ok, your story is sending chills down my back. Sounds like sooner or later this water pump deamon will track down and suck all the life out of our C32s 
. Now I know I made the right decision to get that 8year/100,000mile extended warranty.
