Power/Transmission Loss cruising at 50...

2020 ST. 70K miles.

This is very similar to the hard acceleration/sudden lane change issue I have had and can recreate but the cause was different.

I was driving a steady ~50mph on a slight uphill grade multi lane highway. (PCH). I heard a "rustling" noise from under the car and then the transmission went to neutral and revving the engine only sorta worked. I luckily coasted to the side and restarted the car and all was well. I checked ForscanLite and there were NO error messages.

My GUESS is that I ran over something weird and it freaked out the computer. However, the rustling noise almost seemed too "slow" to be something being run over at 50mph.

Ugh. I miss old cars that would just keep running until something would tear up the old fashioned way

Thanks for any thoughts!

Dennis.

Hopefully just a one time occurrence. If it happens again or throws a code, I’d be worried, otherwise I wouldn’t worry about it too much. What is this “sudden lane change issue”?
