Description of the problem	I was driving along at about 60 mph on a 4-lane freeway when the vehicle started slowing down for no apparent reason. Efforts to apply more acceleration from the gas pedal had no effect. I had to cross three lanes of traffic to get to the berm and activated my hazard lights in the process and my son who was following me in another vehicle had to brake to avoid hitting me. The suv never completely stopped but was traveling at about 2 mph on the berm. I stopped the vehicle and restarted it and it appeared to start okay but an open-end wrench appeared as a warning light (throttle control/power train). After getting back up to speed and merging with traffic the suv died again in about 1/4 mile. I pulled over to the berm and restarted a second time. This time a service engine soon light appeared but the suv appeared to run normally. I continued home and called the dealership and they said they could not help me until the service group came in on monday. I asked to talk to a manager but they said they were all busy and that i'd have to wait until monday. I left vehicle in my garage until monday and then will try to take to have it serviced.
