Default loss of power randomly, traction control?

hey so this just started happening about 3 weeks ago, i started my car twice by accident engine light came on, while driving about 15 minutes later i was stopped at a light, it turned green went to drive and had no power at all, and traction control said i was slipping. restarted the car and it went back to normal this has happened 2 more times since once while i was driving i lost power completely not even slipping or anything.
anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks

No idea honestly, but pulling the VDC fuse would help you reach a place that could diagnose/fix unless its something DIY.

Do you have VDC?
Tire sizes are?

Wow, that's a really long day! Assume no SES light is on?
