Yesterday I noticed the RPMs dipping very low, and I could press the gas peddle down to the floor but the vehicle would just coast, hop and eventually stall. It starts back up just fine. All electrics seem to be working. Took the vehicle into the mechanic. They verified the problem. Left it in the garage overnight the problem did not repeat during the day. I picked the car up in the evening and within half a block the problem re-occurred. Took back to the mechanic. Mechanic can verify it's happening again, but they are at a loss as to why. The ESC and ABS lights have been flashing on and off occasionally for about 2 weeks now. The Check Engine light has not been on.

I have had the same issue several times. Every time I brought it in to the dealership, there was a code or they were able to hear the engine. The following repairs were done, but I still have the issue.
Fuel Pump replaced
Codes: P0452, P0453 and replaced Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor and Regulator
Code: P0449 and replaced Canister Close Valve
Code: C1513 and replaced Brake Switch
Replaced Reverse Switch due to light flickering
Sometimes it won't start for almost an hour. Help!
