“The car will startle when shifting gears until one day it just stopped responding whenever I stepped on the accelerator. It will only drive no more than 5 miles an hour, making horrible noises and smelling burnt. I had to stop and pull to the side as I was driving.iit was so scary because I had my daughter with me and was in a high traffic street.”

All lights and radio, A/C continued working normally. I was left stuck in the middle of an intersection.

“Issue began to occur where car will lose acceleration and must be turned off in order to work again. It has happened about six times now where the car must be pulled to the side of the road (if possible) and restarted. During restart, the engine hesitates/sputters for about 5 seconds before returning to seemingly normal operation. At no other time does the car act like this. Normally it will have no problems starting up. Just last night, I went to leave and was unable to take the car out of park. After a quick search I found that the car may have a loose or bad shifting cable. …”
