Electrical issue?

Hey guys I've been having some issues with my 2007 TL type S.

Last September I started having some
Issues with my battery after two new ones I decided to change the alternator.

Every thing was well for a month or two. I then started having this issue where I would go start my car but the engine wouldn't turn over on the first try second try it would start fine. I would have to enter my navi Code. It would have the issue randomly every 2-3 weeks.

Yesterday I was driving home and stopped at a red light I felt a slight jerk but the AC was on so I didn't think anything of it. Light turns green and I start to go and the car is extremely sluggish. At 2000 rpm it was barely going. Turned into a gas station and it fixed it self. Leaving the gas station it was fine. Hit another redlight and I felt the jerk again and same problem. I even put it in Manuel mode to see if it was going in a higher gear but it was in first. Pulling into a shopping center it corrected it self again but I noticed the navi screen had reset it self and turned back on.

I'm at a loss as to what the hell is wrong with the car.

I would start with checking all of the connections to/from the battery. Sounds like you have a loose connection that comes and goes.

I seem to be having a similar issue with my 2004 TL. Just yesterday I stopped at a red light, once it was time to go I noticed my car wasn't moving I was pressing the gas and the car wouldn't go past 15 mph when I looked at my cluster the VSA and check engine light was one. I barely made it to the mechanics when I tried going home same thing wouldn't go past 20 mph I had to pull over I shut it off when I started it again the VSA light was off but still had the check engine but was now making past 20 mph

Car is in LIMP mode so you don't damage it. It's probably a failed accelerator positon sensor or something of the sort. Get the code read at autozone for free and it'll provide a ton of insight.
