This has happened about 3 times in the last 2 yrs but while sitting at a light my car suddenly went forward. It didn't go. To far. Maybe a ft or 2 but was enough to scare me. My foot was on the brake. It will also get stuck in gears and lose power on the road. No check engine light is on as of now. One light did come on today while sitting at a light and without notice my car would not go. It was the power throttle/transmission light. I turned the car off and then back on and it drove fine all the way home. It did jerk once. The gear shifting and loss of power happens when I am driving on the highway.

I was on I-95 n speed 65 mph. My car revved to 4-5 rpm and I noticed that even as I was pressing on the accelerator that the car was not gaining speed but decelerating. I pulled over on the shoulder an coasted to a stop. The car wasn't/didn't over heat, there was no dashboard lights that came on to warn me. I had no warning of any transmission problems before. I turned off the car and turn the car back on which worked just fine I went to put the car in drive and it wouldn't go anywhere. I put the car in overdrive and reverse an the same thing it was like it was stuck in a constant neutral. The car just hit the 60k mile a few days ago. While I waited on family members to come assist me I checked all fluid levels including the transmission and fluid was correct. From reading on the forums there has been many complaints about this same problem from more than a few thousand people. I will have to go to a shop and the average price for fixing this problem on average is 2 grand.
