wierd problem

Has anyone here experienced the car suddenly has no power at all? It seems like the car became very weak like its not even moving but after I turn off ignition and restart the car the power came back. Everything on the cluster seem fine no check engine lights on or any other signals. After I floored it couple times the power is gone again . Has anyone here experienced this kind of problem if so plz tell me what I can do to solve it ? Any kind of help is appreciated thz.

So you mean you towed it back to the dealer because your car couldnt move? Actually wat my car is doing is alittle bit different even if I dont restart my car the car still has power but the power is different everytime i floor it. Somtimes it pulls really hard but somtimes it feels like the car has no power at all like its slower than a civic. It seems like the throttle is holded back. Im goin to take it back to the shop tomorrow and see wat they will say. Anyways thz for your feedback.

I wonder any C55 owners experienced this problem? If so, was it the same fault as the C32 ? If not so, is this only the C32 engine problem?
Sorry I am a idiot of car mechanics :p
