You sure it was the tcs and not the cel that was blinking? Blinking cel is misfire and explains the car cutting power. It goes in "safe mode"

Mine did this right after I got it and it would happen at higher rates of speed due to a tire out of toe. Alignment shop told me it was due to at higher speeds it was basically dragging the tire and it spinning slower than the other one. Check to make sure its not eating the outer or inner on one tire.

A flat tire won't give you power to move...

Yea the flat tire was not rotating right this causing the tsc light to come on. And not providing power.

how did you not manage to notice a flat tire. Certainly the car must have been dog tailing at the least.
