Description of the problem	While on driving 65mph on the highway during the evening rush hour and suddenly my accelerator was unresponsive in that the rpms just revved (as if the transmission was shifted to neutral). I have two small, children 2 year old and 6 months, and had to quickly coast over to the shoulder and was able to exit the highway. The vehicle shut off while exiting the ramp and i had to call 911 and request an emergency vehicle to park behind me for my safety as i was unable to pull completely over before the vehicle stopped. I attempted to restart the vehicle but was unsuccessful. I had the vehicle towed and am still researching how to repair. I had a 3 year 36k mile warranty that has recently expired since i'm currently at 46k miles. This is a serious concern as i'm finding that my model has not been included in any transmission recalls. For a car manufacturer that prides itself in the highest of safety, this has to be the unsafest i've ever felt driving a vehicle. I'm basically at a loss on what to do at this point because i am confident that the dealership is going to rack up a bill for repair and diagnostics to repair my issue and i'm going to responsible for the outrageous cost of their guessing game of repairs.
