Question Split-Second Loss of Engine power over bumps @ light throttle

my car seems to have a strange germlin of losing its power for a second & then resuming normally

it seems to happen/be related to when i hit bumpy/rough road & possibly left turns

car is stock, had the problem since new...

after 3-4 instances of the "hiccup" it throws a CEL for low MAF circut input & runs like sheet

been in for repairs 4 times now, dealership can temporarily fix the problem, but it always seems to come back in 2 weeks or so.......

major repairs so far............

MAF was replaced @ 500 miles

ECU replaced @ 4500

cars @ 5000 now, still has problem & is now un-drivable as it has gotten worse


Any ideas/input would be greatly appriciated

@ this point im guessing they stretched/damaged my wiring harness during installation @ the factory & my MAF signal is getting borked somewhere along the path from MAF-ECU & when the signal cuts out, the engine freaks & cuts spark til the signal resumes

Carefully document everything. If the dealer cant fix it I would go through the lemon law process. I believe they are supposed to have 3 chances to repair it when the car has less than 12,000 miles.
