On 5/27/22 I was stopped at a red light/intersection and when the light turned green I accelerated only to realize that my car was barely rolling into the intersection only because I was at an incline because my transmission was not moving my vehicle. Since I was now in the middle of the intersection there were cars honking at me, swerving around me, not knowing I was stalled. I couldn't get my car to move by pressing the gas pedal all I could do was raise my hands in the air to let others know I didn't know what was happening. My engine was revving when I pushed the gas pedal but there was no forward motive. My gear shifter was still in Drive and there were no warning lights to alert me of any problems or concerns, even while I'm pressing it frequently and my car is not moving like it should. The next time I pushed the gas my forward motive in the transmission had returned. I wasn't quite sure what happened. I drove (approx.) another 15 miles and came to a 3 way stop and when I accelerated, there again, was no forward motive but the engine was revving when I accelerated. Again, no warning, no warning lights signaling a malfunction with the car but no forward movement by pushing the accelerator. I was coasting into a parking lot and as I pushed the accelerator again. This time the transmission engaged but with a loud noise and a thrust forward of my car, at which time, a check engine light finally came on. I had to have the car towed and transmission replaced.
