My husband was driving the car to work on the interstate shortly after 6am in the pouring rain. Traffic was moving at roughly 65 miles an hour. As two highways were merging together, his vehicle lost power. RPM's went high but vehicle would not accelerate. He put on flashers and proceeded to coast into right hand lanes, but only had enough power to land in the gore, which is the V where two highways come together. He turned the vehicle off and tried to restart, but it would not restart. It took 1 and 1/2 hours for rescue vehicle to arrive while traffic sped by on both sides of him, leading him to believe he was living his last moments. Horrifying! courtesy patrol got my husband to safety, tow truck retrieved vehicle and took it to dealership. They said that essentially, the transmission shifted into neutral as he drove down the highway and there was nothing he could have done to stop it. They replaced the F module-transmission control at N/C, and also performed unrelated PCM update for a recall. We traded off the vehicle yesterday. Transmission had been repaired numerous times for shaking or stalling.

My car had less than 90,000 miles on it when it began to have issues with the transmission. The engine stutters or idles when I accelerate, which has made getting on the interstate a nightmare. If I accelerate to even 35 mph, I have to completely remove my foot from the gas pedal, otherwise my rpms will shoot to over 4 (4,000 rpms). It causes my entire car to feel like it's shaking, and it almost seems like my car is having trouble shifting gears. Not only that, but when I've stopped at a stop sign and begin to drive, my engine makes the most terrible churning/clashing/grinding noise possible. Lately it has gotten to the point that my rpms will continue to increase but my car's speed will stay the same. All of these situations (trouble shifting gears, noises, and high rpms) will occur no matter what, every time I accelerate. It doesn't matter what sort of road I am on.

While driving on a busy interstate the rpms on my vehicle revved to 5000, wouldn't accelerate, and quickly slowed down. I was in the fast lane while traffic around me was going 75+ and was forced to pull over on the left shoulder with my dog in the vehicle at 9:30pm on a Friday night. Once stopped, my vehicle wouldn't move as I tried to go into reverse and wouldn't go over 25 mph while trying to go forward. I was stranded on the interstate for 2 hours waiting for a tow truck paid for out of pocket because my 'warranty expired due to high mileage'. my boyfriend had to leave school to also pull over behind me on the interstate and take the dog from my car to his on the busiest interstate in the state we live in. Mine, my dog's my boyfriend's lives were all in extreme danger due to the failure of a part on my vehicle I have had replaced twice already and is a known problem with the make model and year of my vehicle.
