| While driving the car does not respond to the gas pedal by accelerating sometimes. i have been at very low speeds while turning a corner or at very high speeds while driving on the freeway and the car will not respond to the fact that i am pressing the gas. the only way that i can get it to accelerate is by slamming the brake quickly. somehow the jolting of the car causing it to respond appropriately to the gas pedal and to accelerate. i am concerned because driving on the freeway and my car just starting to slow down randomly and not accelerate to keep up with the flow of traffic, and the only way to get it to do so is to slam on the brake is very dangerous and i cannot control how closely others follow me while driving. *tr | |||

| The car suddenly loses throttle control under normal driving conditions; the engine return to idle speed. i was driving on the expressway and all of a sudden the check engine light came on and the car started slowing down. i pressed on the gas pedal all the way down but the car refused to accelerate. i managed to pull over and stop the engine. and then restarted the car and it seemed to work ok for a while and then did it again. i managed to get it to the dealer and it has been there since while they try to figure out why this is happening. this problem started happening about a year ago. the throttle body has been replaced 4 times in the last year; the throttle body contains the electric actuator for the throttle and the sensors that tell the computer the position of the throttle. i am really concerned about driving the car in traffic because it could suddenly cut out and lead to an accident. *tr | |||
