My family and I were going down the road and there was a weird noise and the engine started to rev up and the speedometer was going down to 30 miles an hour, at the same time the rpm"s were going higher. I pulled to the side of the road because the shift gage on the instrument panel was flashing weird. It had a d with a line thru it. We had to shift it manually from 1st gear up to drive. It was scarey since there was a truck with a trailer behind me coming up fast. It has done this to us twice in the last two weeks. I have seen that there are other people having the same problem or simular. Something should be done. When we have a warranty we still shouldn' t have to pay a deductible for some problem with this brand car" power train and speed control sensors. Going out and needing to be replaced.
