Coming home from florida in 2013, the car lost all power going down the interstate. We were able to push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and the car would not go any faster. Once we stopped and let the car sit for 15-20 minutes, we were able to go another 100-150 miles before it happened again. This has also happened twice driving home from murfreesboro. We went to florida for vacation this year and the same…

When driving the vehicle for no reason the engine slows down and when i try to accelerate by pressing on the gas pedal the engine does not respond. After a minute or two the engine responds and speeds up. There is also a whirring sound when this happens. This happens when the vehicle is in motion mainly on the highway. This has the ability to cause a traffic problem or an accident. I think the problem may be in the…
