Magnum Premium LS power cuts out randomly

Sometimes when I am starting from a dead stop, the power will randomly cut out; the motor won't run (pedal assist or throttle) but the display will still be on, and to fix it, I have to reset the controller. This happens seemingly at random, but usually WHEN I AM CROSSING THE STREET. It happened once in a parking lot with a heavy load of groceries, so it would seem to be related to load, but there doesn't seem to be a way to prevent it. Pedal assist 1, pedal assist 6, gentle throttle, strong throttle... there is no way to make me immune to suddenly having no motor at an intersection while I am trying to quickly get across in the limited time I have before the cars come at me.... It never cuts out in the *middle* of climbing a steep hill. Only the miniature hills from the curved shape of the road make my bike quit.
The controller is c6 and it's set to eco mode and capped at 20 mph. I believe it's the original premium, not the II. I got this bike a month ago and have rode 200 miles on it so far.
