The key has been sticking in my ignition when I park. This time when I could not get the key out, I restarted the car in park, of course with my foot on the brake. The car jumped into reverse and flew backwards out of my garage at a high rate of speed. It crossed the road and ended up knocking down a garage and totaling the car. The brakes were on as evidenced by the tire tread and skid marks. It was a bizarre occurrence and very frighteningly.
While driving a warning light comes on and vehicle feels like it's coasting. When appling gas vehicle will not accelerate, like it is not in gear.
While driving 40 mph, my car engine stopped. After being in the shop for a month, they detected that the tackometer was bad and replace it. This is a major safety issue in that I do not feel comfortable driving the car anymore. It has not occurred again but I think this needs to be researched. Regarding the radio, we have had problems with this over the last year. I have had them look at the problem at least 12 times. We are having static throughout the chicagoland area.
