Reduced Engine Power

I purchased a 2012 SRX with 140,000 miles. It drove perfect for a few weeks. One day while pulling into traffic the check engine light comes on along with the stabilitrac light. I lost all power and couldn’t accelerate at all. VERY DANGEROUS! I immediately took it to have the codes read. It read that I needed to replace the sensor. I replaced it twice and it still does it! This car is not safe to drive! Does anyone know what could cause this?

    What code is setting, P????. Is there more than one code? Codes don't tell you what part is bad, they tell you what test failed. That's why pro's have to test and prove why the system generated a code.
