Aug. 27, 2007: the car is having same issue: sudden shifting @ low speed & jerking on fwy speed. This is very dangerous to drive and I don't know when the car is going to stall middle of fwy. I told the dealer that the car symptons are very much like etm problem (recall) on other models. Aug. 29,2007: dealer replaced another #3 ignition coil and spark plug.
