As I was merging on to the highway from another highway at about 40mph, I had to speed up because of the traffic that was coming towards me and also to blend in with the rest of the cars speeds. I went to accelerate, but nothing happened. Let off the gas, and then punched the pedal all the way, but still no sign of acceleration. I kept my foot on the gas and about 3 seconds later, the car began slowly to speed up. . . One mph at a time. It took some time to make it so 65mph. After reaching that speed, I tried some troubleshooting. I let off gas pedal completely and stepped back on it. That didnt help. I also tried using my shifttronic, and that didnt help. I took the next off ramp and came to a complete stop at a traffic light. I went into park and right back into "d". I still had the accelerating problem. The only way it went away was to shut off the car and turn it back on. It currently works well without any signs of a problem. I did not receive a message on the dashboard nor did I receive an error code.
