| Description of the problem | Yesterday my car drove perfectly fine. Today, i am pulling out of my driveway trying to accelerate, there was a delayed reaction, then a thud and the car jumped forward at the time of the thud. It did it again when i pulled into a parking space, propelling the vehicle forward suddently after the thud was heard again. When i put it in reverse, the thud was heard again, not as loud. All of my driving was on city streets, but due to the sudden lerching forward after the thud sound, i kept a very wise distance from vehicles in front of me. This happened both in stationary and also while in motion. It feels like a transmission problem, although i have read about issues with ecm solenoids. This car has record of being serviced on a very regular basis. It has about 148k miles on it. |
