Was driving down wayne road when suddenly my car started slowing down everything seem to be working except the gas paddle. i had my feet on gas but it was not responding i quickly pulled to the right as it was hard to turn steering wheel. it was cars behind me and it was scary knowing someone could hit me . i called my husband and he came thought he could just give me a jump but he said its nothing wrong with battery. it looks like im not getting any gas. it wont turn over so he pushed me in the mall. until i get off from work. i was blessed that it happen to do that on the day he was off because i just started a new job and i didn't need to miss a day as soon as i start working. i also read many similar complaints on this is. this should be taken care of and fast. i thank the lord for watching over me in trial moments. *tr
