18 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2014

Attempt was made to accelerate from 60mph, to pass another vehicle. The accelerator was depressed and the engine immediately slowed, resulting in the vehicle's speed being reduced to a crawl causing potential harm from approaching vehicular traffic. Vehicle was not able to resume speed for several seconds even while the accelerator was being depressed. There were several close encounters with approaching traffic until the vehicle was able to resume speed. This occurred following a visit to the dealership to describe prior incidents. The dealer "updated" the computer but were not able to give a reason for the occurrence or verify if the condition was corrected. . . . Obviously it was not. Where does one go from here other than to report it on this site?.
