So I was in my way home from work today and my traction control light came on in 6th gear around 50mph. Car seemed to lose power. It went off after maybe 3-5 seconds. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before?

No, it was completely dry. Tires still have a good amount of tread left too. I was on my snows for almost 6 months of the first year of owning it.

Were you cruising or accelerating? Hit a bump? See if the issue can be replicated; if so and you have a Cobb AP try to log your four Vehicle Speed Sensors. It's apparent that something malfunctioned for a moment... If it can be replicated, a large gap between the wheel speeds would tell you if a sensor is malfunctioning; if they're all roughly the same a TCS malfunction. I believe the manual declares if it lights while driving you're either slipping or there's a malfunction and it should be taken to the dealer... Anyway, if you have no way to monitor, and cannot replicate, I would just keep an eye on it.
