Description of the problem	On 09/22/13, i left for a 75 mile trip. When i first started my car that morning, i noticed it was moving sluggishly, but thought it was due to our overnight chilly temperatures. I drove the short distance to the interstate. As i attempted to merge onto the interstate, i had the most frightening experience of my life. I pressed on the accelerator to prepare to merge and discovered that i had practically no acceleration! My car got to between 5000 and 6000 rpms before it shifted out of first gear! At that point, i was going approximately 45 mph while trying to merge onto an interstate, in front of a semi that would not get over for me to merge. I literally had my accelerator pedal pushed to the floor, as the car again hit between 5000 and 6000 rpms to shift into second gear! I was able to eventually get my car to 65 and turn on the cruise control . I double checked to make sure i was in drive (rather than neutral or manual--no dashboard lights on). On occasion during that drive, i turned off the cruise and hit the accelerator to see if what i had experienced was a fluke¿
