Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When traveling 60 mph the car suddenly looses acceleration, like it is slipping into neutral. at first, i could remove my foot from the gas, allow the car to coast and slow, and then re-apply gas, and it would accelerate again. now when it occurs, i have to stop, normally on the side of a rural highway, put it in park, then back to drive for it to work properly. i am afraid this is going to leave me stranded somewhere out in the 'sticks.' the car has less than 25k miles, and has had its scheduled maintenance. any info?*jb
