DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE DOWN TO 20MPH. COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE USING THE GAS PEDAL. FINALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF THE SLOW SPEED (3 TO 5 MINUTES) THEN THE COMPLETE STOP SWITCHED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE AGAIN. VEHICLE MAINTAINED 1500 TO 2000 RPMS THE ENTIRE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE ENGINE DID NOT RACE NOR DID IT STALL. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. TWO DIFFERENT SERVICE TECHNICIANS AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS HAD NOT HEARD OF A SIMILAR PROBLEM NOR COULD THEY RECOMMEND ANY SOLUTION. HAVE NOT HAD A RECURRENCE IN THE LAST FIVE WEEKS NOR HAVE I USED MY CRUISE CONTROL. CAME CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE INCIDENT SINCE I COULD NOT MOVE OUT OF THE PASSING LANE DUE TO A WALL ON MY LEFT AND FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON MY RIGHT. *TR
