Description of the problem | I was driving with my 7 week old son and 3 year old daughter. I pulled up to a red light and stopped. When the light turned green i pressed the gas to go. My vehicle surged forward into the intersection and then only slowly moved. There was power to the car, lights, music, and air were working but my car was only slowly moving and shaking. It was as if no gas was getting to the engine. I had to pull over onto the right lane, because the road had no shoulder. The sound and feeling the car was making made me feel like i needed to drive with my foot on the brake and the gas at the same time. There was no warning signs that there was anything wrong with my car, it just all of a sudden stopped. It was the worst feeling ever being stuck on a busy road with no shoulder to pull over onto and having my 2 babies in the car with me, as cars come driving up and having to switch lanes or slam on their brakes to avoid me. |
