I was coming out of a stop getting ready to get into the turning lane for the interstate ramp and when I pressed the gas the car barely moved but the rpm shot up and was revving. Came to a full stop and put car in park and it made a very loud noise. Put back in drive and seemed to be normal.

When I turn down ryan road the truck stulled out during the making of the turn but I was able to pull into the tim horton, try to restart my truck to make it to her father house the next day I had tow truck tow my truck to louis auto repair shop but they didn't able to look at my truck until Monday and they call me to let me know I need new engine.

Takata recall- 3 dash lights on etc, mil, and esc activational malfunction indicator light on- car makes sputtering loud noise and stalls/turns off quickly after starting. Car will not accelerate and is jerking/hard to press breaks. Feels dangerous like car is going to shut off at any moment. This started last night when 3 lights appeared on dash but car sounded normal. Shortly after it shut off and has gone decreasingly down hill. This sounds like a recall issued for Jeep Patriots but does not cover my VIN number.
