dealer (ricart) states they cannot duplicate the problem. The first time I left the dealership, I had no problems going to work (approximately 10 miles - 2/25/2014). When I left work for home, I went approximately 7 miles before a recurrence @ 55 mph. On the way to work the next day (2/26/2014) the problem recurred, after 8 miles @ about 55 mph. On the way home from work, after about 7 miles the problem recurred @ about 55 mph. I took the car to the dealer 2/27/2014. Along the way to the dealership, and after approximately 9 miles @ about 65 mph, the problem recurred. I left the car for the weekend, and picked it up 3/2/2014. The dealer (ricart) stated they could not duplicate the problem, but replaced the oxygen sensor. On my way to work from the dealership the problem recurred after about 7 miles @ about 35 mph. The same evening, on my way home from work, after about 5 miles @ about 40 mph the problem recurred. I did not drive the car 3/3/2014. In every incident (twice per day after the car has not run for at least 8 hours), the traction control lamp lights and stays lit, after a few miles (5 -10 thus far). In order to proceed normally, I must get out of traffic, pull to the side of the road, turn off the ignition and restart. Upon restarting, the traction control lamp no longer lights, but the engine control lamp remains lit. *Tr
