I was in the middle of traffic and all of a sudden, my vehicle begins to decelerate, I'm pressing trying to give it gas and nothing, it continues to decelerate. After a few seconds maybe 10-15 seconds, I regain control and it begins to drive normally. This has happened on three different occasions. Once last year and twice in the last 2 days. Fortunately the traffic was a 35mph zone. But scary nonetheless. Last year when it occurred, traffic was a 55mph zone and I had traffic backed up 2miles or more. I coasted off to the side, put the car in park, but I did not shut it off for fear it would not restart. After a minute or so sitting there in sheer panic, I decided to put the car back in drive and attempt to pull off and low and behold it did. It drove normal as if it had never happened. Until 2 days ago, 10-15-2016. Then again today, 10-17-2016.
