Description of the problem	8/12/16 i was driving from schaumburg il. To la crosse wi with my daughter in my car and my son following behind. Drive is approx 3 hrs & 50 mins. The weather outside high 80's & humid. An hour into my trip on 90west in stop and go traffic on the expressway due to construction. Went to accelerate from a complete stop the car would only go to 20 mph with my foot to the floor & it took some time. The rpms didnt move, the car didnt rev, there were no warning lights, no lights dimming on the interior & the temperature gauge was just where it should be. I thought it was just a fluke. When approaching the wi dells 2 hours into my trip & an hour & a half remaining, i was in the "fast lane" of traffic doing about 80 mph, i went to accelerate more i noticed the same thing was happening. Only now my speed was rapidly decreasing. I moved over & got off on the nearest exit still attempting to accelerate, i pulled into a gas station. Hesitant on shutting the car off not knowing what was happening. Called my brother & described the event i had experienced. Advised to shut it down thinking maybe the system just needed a reset. Waited 20 mins & advised my son that we would stay in the "slow" lane. Car started right up & went the hour & 30 mins with no problem. Car sat at the hotel we were staying at all night. Morning of the 13th did short trips, got lunch & attend a meeting near campus. Car was just as it always has been. 4 pm cst i got on 90e to head home. The same 3hr 50 min 248 mile trip. Outside mid 80's not as humid as the day before. 1 hr & 30 min from my home doing 80/85 mph, now in various construction areas that do not provide a shoulder, my car starts to lose acceleration while i am trying to accelerate.
