When i am driving on the street 35mph all of a sudden my car starts to excel (picks up speed) and in order for me to stop it from picking up speed i have to pull over and put it on park then press the gas pedal one quick time and then i can start to drive again. I can't do nothing else but pullover
As i am driving when i press on my brakes the car trumbles, shakes and it doesn't brake all the way, it feels like something is missing
My 2007 ford taurus was up to 3000 rpm's and my car wasn't letting me drive faster than 19 mph. When pressing the gas pedal all the far would do it rev higher and jolt forward really fast. I turned my car off and began driving normal again except the fact my transmission was still working way too…
