Hey, im from Edmonton.... and yeah it was electrical, my stereo was also going really loud and quite, and the passanger airbag sensor got tricked off :/
Found out what the problem was, when the mechanic that fixed my seized valve finished his work he sprayed down the engine bay with a high pressure washer. guess he soaked the electrical boxes, including the transmission compu?.....regardless he had to take all the sensors out and clean/ dry them.
Lessons learned. hopefully it doesnt happen agian. scariest thing to happen while on the freeway...especally when your getting tailed by a truck for not being able to accelerate :@

I would check out the battery too....some of those I had received when my battery was dying. I was told the car shuts down certain things to try to keep the car's current.
BUT, hit the dealer for this one. Good Luck.
