POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY JUST SLOWS DOWN & STOPS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. WHEN I STARTED IT BACK UP, THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY FEEL LIKE ITS GOING INTO 'NEUTRAL' GEAR ON ITS OWN & I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE, SO AGAIN IM SLOWING DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES.. IT GOES BACK INTO REGULAR DRIVE ON ITS OWN. SEEMS LIKE SOME SORT OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE MESSAGE ON MY DASHBOARD SAYS 'TRANSMISSION FAULT, SERVICE NOW'. BUT I NEVER STARTED SEEING THIS MESSAGE UNTIL I GOT A DEAD BATTERY REPLACED.
