WHEN EXITING INTERSTATE, CHANGES LANE AND AS GAS PETAL WAS PUSHED, NO POWER TO SUV, ENGINE DID NOT RACE OR SHAKE, JUST NO POWER. PUT SUV INTO FIRST GEAR AND IT JERKED AHEAD AT 10 MPH TO STOP LIGHT. WHILE STOPPED, SUV WOULD ROLL BACKWARD IF BRAKE NOT ON. MADE LEFT HAND TURN AND PUT BACK INTO GEAR, ABOUT ONE MILE LATER SAME LOSS OF POWER UNTIL PUT INTO 1ST GEAR. ONE MONTH LATER, ALSO WHILE EXITING INTERSTATE HAD SAME LOSS OF ALL POWER AT BOTTOM OF RAMP WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO LEFT LANE. SUV WOULD ONLY MOVE AFTER PUT INTO 1ST GEAR, ONLY AT 10 MPH. DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AFTER A WEEK WITH THE FIRST INCIDENT, DEALER KEPT FOR 3 AND A HALF WEEKS AND THE P&S DIRECTOR DROVE 716 MILES AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. (NOTE BOTH HAPPEN WITHIN ONE WEEK OF DEALER OIL CHANGE) P&S DIRECTOR SUSPECTS FLY BY WIRE ISSUE, SAID THAT COMPARED TO OTHER 2005/2006 MODELS OURS HAS A DEAD PEDAL FEELING. *JB
