Reported at 80,000 miles, November 2010 Crash

When I was trying to enter an expressway from an entry ramp, I stepped on the gas and got no response. The engine did not rev up as it would if the car was in neutral. I coasted to the apron , turned off the car, and restarted it. The gas responded normally after restarting but the engine light stayed on. I took it into the dealer and they reprogrammed the engine control unit, which, so far, has fixed the problem. I was told that the computer just lost track of the accelerator position.
