“My car has been skipping between 3 rpm and up. The other day the collision assist pulled up and my car did a crazy jerking and almost cut off while driving. I drove slowly home with it constantly skipping and making it hard to accelerate. After it sat overnight the collision warning went off. It’s still skipping some and the power is not there like it once was.”
