Description of the problem | I was driving on highway 680 in stop n go traffic. I put my foot on gas to go, but my car just wouldn't go. I tried to accelerate, but nothing happened. I quickly pulled over in the shoulder on the right side. The car started shaking. I put my car in parking mode and turned off the engine. I restarted it again, and it worked. So, i went into the oncoming traffic to get back on the highway. After about a mile further in stop n go traffic, my car did the same exact thing. It stopped working, and started shaking when i pulled over to the shoulder. I turned off the engine again. I wasn't feeling comfortable with driving my car since same thing happened twice. So, i had to call the tow company and had it towed to my home. |
