Unless I'm wrong the flashing light means the traction control system is working to keep the back tires from spinning.
Is the road bumpy? Like the concrete interstates/roads with the seams every few feet? If so it may actually be trying to spin the tires and traction control is keeping it from dong that and causing you to lose control of the car. My 2011 3.8 Track will flash the traction control light at 75 or 80 mph in 3rd gear on a concrete section of highway. Blink, blink, blink till I let off of the gas and shift to 6th gear. It's got enough torque at that rpm to "want" to break the back tires loose.
Forgot to mention mine's a 6 speed manual, 2011. So older, less torque/hp and it can't upshift till I do it.
