As I was driving the car it wont shift and sounds forced. The engine started making a rattle sound and I was very concerned! the car stopped in full speed and I was scared for me life and my sons. Had a car been behind us or in the intersection it could have been bad! it turned back on after putting the car in n and pressing the start button. But the car continues to sound and feel as though its being forced to run.
