AT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST COMING FROM OUT OF A STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDAL HARD TO GET ACCELERATION AND MANAGED TO REGAIN ACCELERATION. ON 7/9/12, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT STEADY SPEEDS, I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN TO SLOWING TRAFFIC, WHEN TRAFFIC PICKED UP I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ACCELERATION OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I PUNCHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD AND GOT NO ACCELERATION WHATSOEVER. THE RPMS WOULD NOT INCREASE THE OVERDRIVE WOULD NOT RESPOND AND WAS JUST COASTING AT 40 MPH. THIS WAS SUCH A RISK AS I HAD FAST COMING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL TO THE SLOW LANE TO NOT BE A HAZARD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE NEVER REGAINED ACCELERATION AND HAD TO KEEP PEDAL PUSHED TO CONTINUE MOVING. I PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THE INSISTED THAT SINCE THEY RECEIVED NO COMPUTER ERROR CODES OR COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND NOTICED IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO LOTS OF PEOPLE AND COULD BE SEVERAL POSSIBLE ISSUES. IT SEEMS MOST OF THE CAUSES ARE A RESULT OF LONG DISTANCE DRIVING WHICH I DO 4 TIMES A WEEK AND SOMEHOW RESETS UPON TURNING OFF AND TURNING BACK ON VEHICLE OR VEHICLE COOLING DOWN. THE DEALER "COULD NOT" SPARE THE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO DRIVE IT FOR THAT LONG SO THEY LEFT IT AT THAT.. I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AND HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE DEALT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. *TR
