This is the second time it has happened in 2 weeks. We were in our car and were accelerating after being stopped at a stop light. The car jerked forward briefly and then stopped responding. I was pressing the gas pedal, but the car did not accelerate and the vsa warning light came on briefly. Within a few seconds, the car began responding again and we were able to drive safely the last 1/4 mile to work. *tr
