STRUCTURE:BODY
MY CAR BATTERY WAS LOSE AND I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. I WENT AND POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY WAS LOSE AND I MOVED IT IN PLACE AND THE CAR TURNED ON. UPON ME BEING IN A RUSH TO GET TRAFFIC GOING AGAIN THE HOOD LATCH DIDN'T WORK, AND WHEN. I WENT ON THE HIGHWAY THE HOOD WENT UP TO MY WINDSHIELD AND DAMAGED MY HOOD, CORNER PANELS, SMASHED MY FRONT WINDSHIELD, AND I HAVEN'T FIXED THE HOOD BECAUSE IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. IN THE FAST LANE.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AT 53,000 MILES. THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY EVEN THOUGH RPM IS REVVING THERE IS NO POWER TO THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING TURNS OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BECAUSE WHEN YOU GO TO TURN CAR LOSES POWER SO YOU CAN EASILY GET T- BONED.THE CAR HAS EVEN TURNED OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LOSING ALL POWER INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT ABOUT 40,000 MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT PUSH DOWN IT IS LIKE SOMETHING IS UNDER THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THERE ISN'T ANYTHING AND THEN WHEN IT DOES IT PUSH DOWN IT IS LIKE U FLOOR BOARD IT. AND SOMETIMES IT CAUSES IT NOT TO CHANGE GEARS LIKE IT IS NOT READING THE CONNECTION FROM GAS PEDAL TO THE SYSTEM THAT IT NEEDS TO GIVE IT FUEL AND THEN IT TRIES TO DIE AT TIMES WHEN U DO GET IT TO KICK IN. THIS IS WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND IT DOES IT MORE WHEN IT HAS BEEN SETTING RUNNING FOR A BIT IN ONE SPOT. IT HAS HAPPENED LIKE SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS
