Then her car began to speed up on it's on and then it reduced its speed again. My daughter was driving down the road and all of a sudden she heard this weird noise. This is annoying because I am a college student that also works a job over two hours from my families home and it will be over two weeks until I am able to even go back to my families home. My parents are having to tow my car back to our house, which is about two hours from where the car is parked, and I have to drive my mother's car while she will have to drive a rental. I had to park my car in a nearby driveway and wait for my brother to come and pick me up. I actually pushed the gas pedal all of the way to the floor and nothing happened. I then accelerated to 54mph, where it, again, shifted hard/lurched.Īfter this, I attempted to accelerate bu pushing down the gas pedal. I then accelerated harder driving back towards the interstate, I got up to 65 mph then slowed down to about 50mph. I drove two miles and turned around, I drove around 53 miles. I pulled onto a two lane highway with a 55mph speed limit.

I got out and nothing seemed wrong, no leaks or anything.

I pulled off of the interstate onto the shoulder of an exit.

The car then showed a message that said 'transmission fault, service soon'. Three times my car shifted hard/lurched forward when it hit 74 mph. I had my cruise control set at 78 mph, but was caught behind a couple of slower moving vehicles. I was driving on the interstate where the speed limit is 70 mph.
