  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Have a 2015 5.0 . Car has intermittent stalling issues. Has been going on for years. totally random periods when the power stalls. Engine doesn't die. It is a momentary type thing. Very annoying and at times is dangerous.
Have taken it to shop several times over the years but never can repeat the issue when at dealer. They say, all codes check out, of course at the time the service man drives car it is not present. Does anyone know about the issue or can give me a direction to go from here.
 
I replaced the fuel module in my car and it runs better than ever! It used to hesitate like it was gulping air if I stepped on the gas but now it gets up and goes!

It was in the trunk on the driver's side - I had to remove the trunk liner and liner up to the bumper
 
If the car is AWD, that is usually to blame. My 2015 3.8 AWD does that stall even when gas if floored seems to be due to the wheels trying to grip and when they can't everything just sort of stops. When I use "Sport" RWD mode, I never have that issue.
 
Agree with Alfer above. I've commented on this issue in some earlier threads.

If the car hesitates when leaving a stop and the wheels are turned somewhat sharply (along with ample throttle), this is the traction control doing it's job. Depending on road conditions, the inside wheel can slip/spin compared to the outside wheel. The computer sees the difference, thinking the car is loosing traction and will immediately cut the throttle. Happens more often when you really stomp on the pedal.
