Im having the same problem but at about 4500rpm, it is probably down to two things,
Spark plugs or coils.
You can also run the diagnostics to see if anything appears there.
Im just about to pick up a set of plugs (cheaper than the coil option) will fit them tomorrow and will report back if problem has gone.
