| Description of the problem | As i was driving home, traffic began to slow down due to congestion. As i slowed down, the car began to jerk violently. I was nearly hit from behind. The car jerked two more times as i made my way over to the side of the highway. I turned off the car and waited a few minutes. I prayed then started my car again. I was approximately 10 miles from home. As i got off the highway and pulled onto my local street, i came to a red light. As i slowed down, the car began to jerk again. I pulled over and turned the car off. After a while, i continued to drive home. I parked the car, checked my oil (levels were good) and started to call around for help. This is extremely dangerous. |
