Default HELP!! Complete loss of power!

I was on my way to the store when I decided to drive a little aggressive, I was in 4th gear and about 4000rpm's and then the car just completely shut down. Not turned off, but NO POWER. I gave it gas and nothing would happen. The rpm's didnt go up and the car didnt accelerate. The SES light came on and the slip and TC lights are on also. Not even in neutral would the rpm move normally, it took a while to get them up. I turned the car off for about 10mins and started her back up again, everything worked fine, but the SES light is now continuously. I drove around a little and it all happen again! Anyone know what this could be?!? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there any reason why it would just go to safe mode for no reason?!?

possible bad fuel??? your car is going into safe mode for a reason. So your car will be alright.

Its called limp mode... unplug the negative cable on the battery, pump the brakes and wait 15 minutes... plug the negative back in and the ses light will be gone and car will run fine... This happens some times from a bad sensor read.

this happen to me, a COMPLETE loss of power but that was because i upgraded to larger sized tires, i had like a different number on the front and on the back. i had 35's on the front and 30s in the rear and so my slip always came on. it was so ghey. so i got 35's in the rear and it never came on again. good luck let us know what you are going to do
