I was idling at a stand-still on the highway (or very close to a stand-still - may have been rolling at approx. 5 miles per hour) as traffic came to a stop due to a lane merge ahead. When traffic started to slowly move forward again, i took my foot off the brake and stepped on the gas pedal to accelerate forward but the car did not move. I tried stepping on the gas pedal once more and again the car would not move…

Vehicle purchased january 2013 with ~37k miles. First month of ownership, i had code indicating a fuel delivery problem but it cleared on its own. I attributed it to bad gas, though it may have been the warning sign i missed. Today on the highway at approximately 60mph, it felt like the vehicle shifted out of sequence, noticing the lack of power/low rpms i tried to give it gas to no avail. I safely navigated to the…

As i was pulling away from the intersection, i lost all throttle. I had no power at all, it wanted to stall and i had nowhere to pull over from the inside lane. The driver behind me almost rear ended me. I had to stop in the middle of traffic with my hazard lights on. This is a serious safety issue, this should not happen on a new vehicle that has only 36,000 miles. *tr

The gas pedal would not accelerate to pull onto shoulder or to move around traffic. All fuel acceleration was lost. As i finally coasted to the shoulder, narrowly avoiding being the cause of multiple accidents, the vehicle starting shaking. I turned the car off, waited…

After stopping and upon acceleration the engine completely shuts down and the car stalls. After putting the car in park and restarting the car, it runs okay. This has happened to me 4 times over a 23 month period. Each time i have taken the vehicle to the dealership. The first two times i was told the car was still breaking in and it must be due to the gas i was using. The third time, they replaced the throttle…
