“I purchased a 2003 Dodge intrepid in november of 2005 and the car runs fine up until about a month and a half ago. The check engine light came on and the car would get stuck in one gear and my RPM would go up into the red line unless I pulled over and restarted the car. Other times it would get stuck and then jerk into the next gear. Then about four days ago I was on the freeway and the whole car just shut off. I could not move it and traffic was speeding past me and a few had to slam on breaks to avoid hitting me and my ten month old daughter. …”
