  • 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.

It has happened twice now. Once on the highway and another time in town.

Seems to happen on 90% throttle, full but not clicking the two stage pedal.

Under this amount of throttle the car will get to changing from 1st to 2nd gear then a clunk from the front end combined with sudden electrical loss. Entire dash, gauge cluster, A/V, HVAC everything flashes black dead but instantly comes back on and appears fine again and the car resumes driving normally like nothing happened.

Interestingly enough this has only started happening after I had the recall fuse replaced? Probably around week and a half again now. This is the only change I've made to the car it is bone stock.

My OBD2 is not finding any fault codes.

Loose battery cable somewhere. The alternator disables somewhere above 4500rpm as I recall.
