Description of the problem	I was driving on a service road and was entering the freeway when the transmission started slipping. This caused my vehicle to start jerking. The vehicle behind me almost ran over me as i was loosing speed due to the transmission slipping. I managed to pull over and after a couple of minutes the transmission started working again and i was able to pick up speed and continue driving. This incident also caused my braking and steering to be erratic. This happened 3 times on dec 9, 2014. This is unsafe as it nearly caused a major accident in heavy traffic going south on interstate 35 out of austin. By my estimation there would have been no fewer than 5 to 6 vehicles involved in an accident had i not managed to pull over.
