When I started my car, the engine jumped and the car shook. I tried to drive it but couldn't get more than 10 feet without it constantly feeling like it was both starting and stalling, and rocking back and forth. I had to park it, and even when completely stopped the car would shake and the engine made a terrible noise. My car started to smell really bad. The dealership tells me that it is a coil failure in the engine, which caused complete engine failure and left me stranded.
