Sounds like the pump is getting starved to me. The pump is probably pushing more fuel than the siphon can pull. Should probably fill up before the light comes on if you want to keep your motor happy.
It's possible the pump has shifted in the housing if this a relatively new symptom. Also possible the pump is meeting a pre mature end.

Twice now I have lost throttle control while cruising on the freeway when the fuel low level light was on. Both times were several minutes after the light came on.
A. It will drop me out of Cruise Control and I will not be able to accelerate.
B. Car will coast for a few secs (engine still on) and then abruptly I'll have throttle control back again.
C. A few secs later I will lose throttle control again.
D. This cylce repeats.
Both times I pulled over to a gas station and filled her up with gas. Issue disappears after that.
I am thinking it must be a fueling issue but can't figure out what it may be? I haven't touched the fuel system since the Innovate Supercharger and Deatschwerks Fuel Pump install 3-4 months ago.
The car runs perfectly otherwise. AFR's are spot on. Fuel trims look good. No hesitations or loss of fuel to the engine when the tank is filled. No codes.
