    I'm wondering if anybody here has experienced a loss of power when making slow coasting type of turns. It's been a nagging issue that the dealer can't chase down. They have given me the run around about the oil pressure bc of low oil but it's BS. Needless to say, I was almost hit because the power cut out when making a turn into oncoming traffic. The engine doesn't shut down but the RPMS get cut to nothing. The last time it did for about 15 seconds. Comments please. 2016 TH

    This is a known problem. There was a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) issued. Check out this thread.

    I had the same issue. The dealership flashed the TCM and I am as good as new.
    I almost was involved in an accident pulling on to the highway when it happened to me...
    Nothing worst than mashing the gas and having the ol Renny coast into the highway.
