So last night in a parking structure, I got into the cube and headed off. As I pulled away from the parking spot I sensed something was wrong as I tried to accelerate. I would depress the gas pedal (more than usual) and it would take a while to accelerate. I drove for about 3 miles through a mountain pass where acceleration was not as responsive and there seemed to be a lag of some sort. So I pulled over, put it in neutral and stepped on the gas pedal. The rpm did not go up. I then put it in drive and pressed the gas pedal all the way down and the same thing happened, no response, wth. So I restarted the engine and did the same thing. This time the engine revved up. I drove again and everything seemed to be fine. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I take it into the dealer? Might be an issue with the electronic throttle system. I wonder if the CVT may also be involved.
Btw, my cube just hit the 12000 mile mark when this happened
