Today I took my family to regular weekend drive. I'm a cautious driver so I'm always driving carefully, without any sudden acceleration or turns.
I was driving as usually, suddenly in 70KMPH speed, when the OD lamp from the gear turned on and off without any interference from my side, then everything come back as normal and I took this even like some mysterious gear error and kept driving as usual.
Then, after about 10KM, suddenly, we heard "boom" and felt like something held the car and everybody in the car was thrown forward. My 2 and 3 year old kids started screaming and crying. It was scary, fear of life that's what was here in the car. The car started to get us bumps and jumps in the middle of the highroad, my lucky that there were no many cars and drivers around were able to move aside until I was able to take control over the car. FEAR and LIFE DANGER that what we felt, the whole family in this car, 2 kids my wife and me!!!
I'm instinctively put the gear to Neutral and just rolled to the side of the road.
