“The first time the incident happened my car locked and unlocked the doors while im driving and then when I parked it wont start, after 5 mins it started and I drove it to the dealership. After couple of days they said everything is fine so I drove it back home. After 3 days while im driving it at 40 m/hr it looses power and came back then when I parked it wont start again so it was towed going to the dealership and there is a grinding noise on the transmission when backing and moving it forward. …”
