| Description of the problem | On april 3rd, 2018 after stopping at a stop sign my car would not move when stepping on the gas pedal. Then it stalled out and would not start. Had help come within 30 minutes and when we tried to start it again, it did start and i drove it home. No engine lights came on. My husband changed the crank shaft sensor after researching online for the problem and talking to mechanics about it. Ran fine until may 1, 2018, as i was driving on the freeway in cruise control doing 65mph my car suddenly started slowing down. I had no trouble lights on. I pulled off to the side of the freeway and put it in park. When i revved the gas pedal the rpms went up. I sat for a minute and then put it in drive and when i released the brake it started to roll forward. I waited for the traffic to clear then gave it gas and i was able to get back on the freeway and brought the car home safely. We have been trying to figure out what is wrong but with no trouble lights coming on the dash and being unable to have a scanner check it d/t no trouble lights coming on we are clueless. Please check into this, it was very scary being on the freeway and having this happen. |
