Description of the problem	After being parked with vehicle off, turned vehicle on and vehicle would only accelerate at a very slow speed, maybe 5 mph. Tried to switch it to manual shift but it would not register. Turned vehicle off for a few minutes and turned it back on and it was back to normal. This has happened at least three times a month since and has not done it once for the dealer to figure out the problem. They always act like i am insane and don't know what i am talking about. Vehicle is now over 60,000 miles and the dealers could care less about my issue. It is so immensely frustrating.
