I was driving at 40 mile ph and all of a sudden the car hesitated acted like it couldn't get into gear -the track off light was on-I was driving on flat surface no wet conditions this happened more then ten times. Had car looked at by mechanic could not explain it resets after turning off car and starting it up again it was checked on computer found no problem but on last time the car died as I was driving into the repair shop it was again check and the repair man showed me that he shouldn't get any info because it wasn't sending info to his computer. This scares me I drive my two young children to school in this car . It is still drivable but for short distances. I I have contacted manufacturer they say they have no info on this happening to anyone else. I will be taking it back to dealer to put on their computer to see if they can find out what's wrong my repair person thinks the pcm needs replaced.
