While driving on the interstate or over 50 mph the vehicle will not allow me to give it gas and a "drivetrain malfunction" comes on. The car then goes into limp mode and the engine shakes. The vehicle will not allow me to give it gas and before the "drivetrain malfunction" comes on you can feel the gas or fuel pump jerk. Then I am no longer able to give the car gas, limp bode happens, engine shakes, and the car puts itself in neutral. I have to find a way to get in the emergency lane without getting hit and turn the car off for a few minutes to reset the lights. But this has happened on more than one occasion. I have taken it to a body shop twice, still not fixed.
