| Description of the problem | The car started stalling in jerk motions and stopped. It happened couple times and usually happens at traffic lights or traffic jam places where speed is below 20k. I was afraid this could have caused cars behind hit me. Later after completely stop of the engine, i got a engine check light and when starting driving , the car show lot of rpm but would not displace/move much. The car has 45k miles and currently with the dealer service department. This might be a transmission problem and i feel this mb of usa & nhtsa should investigate to get a recall and see if customer's get extended warranty for this issue. |
