When breaking my headlights flicker on and off. It only occurs when breaking. Second issue: when backing up from reverse gear and putting car into drive the transmission hesitates to engage and the car surges forward like it is not in gear.

As I was driving on the freeway in bumper-to-bumper traffic, traffic came to a standstill. I went to accelerate as the cars moved and then I realized my engine had shut off. The check engine light had come on and my car was dead. I put it in park, turned the key again and it started up again. But I noticed as I was crawling along, my car had a rough idle. The whole car would shake and rpm seemed a little lower than usual at idle. I found out my motor mount had gone. Dealer replaced it, had an extended warranty so it was covered. Gave out pretty quick if you ask me - at around 55,000 miles.
