Vehicle started to run sluggish as if it was misfiring or running out of gas, then the traction control and stabilitrac lights came on. Occasionally the check engine light would come on and flash to indicate "limp mode", so I would turn it off and restart it after a couple minutes. Sometimes that would help for several days at a time but then became more and more frequent to the point every time I started the vehicle the lights would be on and I couldn't drive more than 5 mph.
I had the vehicle diagnosed and worked on at a small mom and pop shop nearby and they told me that the Fuse Box under the hood was shorting out causing the sluggish driving and lights coming on. After replacing it with a new one ($550), I am happy to say I am running smooth again on the highway. I am very confident they have solved the issue on this one.
Hope this helps someone out there.
