As I was coming out of a u-turn today, the engine loss virtually all power and the yellow warning triangle on the instrument panel started flashing. I took my foot of the pedal and slowly started to accelerate again, the car "caught on" and off I went. WEIRD.
It didn't happen again. Has this ever happen to anyone?

Sounds like the ESP was doing it's job... Maybe there was something slick - oil or ice etc. on the road??

I just realized you're in Ft. Lauderdale. Scratch the ice, it had to be oil. That happened to me a lot when I lived there. Worse after a slight rain shower. Lots of junkers drip oil at the intersections when stopped at a light.
