| There have been two incidents so far. one was traveling on the freeway at 65mph when the throttle completely stopped responding. the other incident occurred at much lower speeds when turning a corner and the throttle no longer responded. in both cases the car would not accelerate or maintain speed. pressing on the accelerator did not have any effect at all. in both cases the car would coast along at whatever speed the engine idling would move it - roughly 15 mph. *tr | |||

| I was driving when the accelerator pedal stopped responding. i couldn't accelerate or maintain speed. the check engine light was now on and the cruise control light was flashing. i pulled over and the idle was at 2,000 rpms and the accelerator pedal was still not responding. i turned off the engine for about 5 minutes. when i turned it back on, the accelerator was working but the check engine light was on and the cruise control light was flashing. *tr | |||

| My wife was driving the vehicle when the check engine light came on. the cruise light started flashing. the gas pedal was non functioning. she was able to cost to a safe place. when i arrived the car was running. the gas pedal was unresponsive. i shut the car off and took her to work. an hour later i returned to the car and tried to start it. it took several seconds to start, but did. the gas pedal worked. the check engine light was on steady and the cruise control was flashing. i was able to get the car home. today 10/20/12 the car has no symptoms. this could have been very scary as my wife was driving on the busiest street in montana during the morning commute. *tr | |||
