 Description of the problemI was driving with my 10 month old in the car when it suddenly began to deccelerate. I pressed on the gas pedal and got no response. The check engine and cruise control lights began flashing at this time as well. Fortunately i was on a rural road (speed limit 40 mph) and was able to limp along to a pull off. I turned the engine off and let it sit for 5 minutes. When i turned the car back on i was able to drive again. The check engine light was on when i initially started the car but turned off when i began driving again. The same event occurred 4 days later when i was taking my 4 year old to preschool. I turned off a 25 mph street into his school when the check engine light came on and the gas pedal quit working. I should note that when the gas pedal "quits working" the car will not let me go above 15 mph. Once again, i was able to turn the car off and when i started it back up the gas pedal worked again. I took the vehicle to a local mechanic who replaced the accelerator pedal and sensor. Fortunately i was on rural roads when both of these events happened, but this would have been terrifying if i was on a busy road or freeway, especially with 2 small children in the car.
