During normal city driving conditions the vehicle has a sudden lost of power dropping down to a speed of 35-40 mph, no acceleration is possible above 35-40 mph, indicator lights come on dash board "slip,vdc off and service engine soon". On two different occasions vehicles directly behind me have had to come to sudden stops to avoid a rear end collision, since I am unable to accelerate and they are traveling at a consistent rate of speed. This failure has happen again today, bring the total of occurrences to three(3). The dealership has replaces the accelerator pedal 7/20/05 and the throttle chamber 9/7/05. None of these corrections have improved the problem.
