Consumer Description

MORNING OF JUNE 22ND, WHEN I DROVE BACK FROM CHARLOTTE, NC AIRPORT TO UNIVERSITY AREA, ON HIGHWAY I-85, MY TOYOTA MATRIX 2003 STOP ACCELERATION-QUICKLY DROP THE SPEED FROM 70MPH TO 40MPH AND STILL DROPPING. DOESN'T MATTER HOW HARD I APPLY THE GAS PEDAL, IT WON'T ACCELERATE. I STOPPED THE CAR IN AN OPEN AREA CLOSE TO AN EXIT AND STOPPED THE ENGINE--POWER WAS ON AND RADIO WAS WORKING. I STOPPED THE ENGINE AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON, TRIED IT AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO HOME. GOD, I WAS LUCKY. *TR
