Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY (IN MIDDLE OF NOWHERE)CAR STARTED JERKING/SHAKING/VIBRATING & CLUNKING/BANGING SOUND, FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER MILLIONS OF NAILS. CAR COULD BARELY DRIVE AT 40 MPH IN SLOW LANE W/HAZARDS UNTIL I COULD GET TO SAFETY AN HOUR AWAY. CAR CANNOT GO ABOVE 5 MPH TO GET IT HOME. RPM GOING WACKY NO POWER WHEN STEP ON GAS BUT ENGINE REVS. ENGINE LIGHT ON STEADY THEN FLASHES WHEN CAR GETS GOING AT ONLY 5 MPH (CANNOT GO FASTER) BUT I FINALLY GOT THE CAR HOME & I WAS SAFE. NOW CAR CAN'T BE DRIVEN & MUST BE TOWED TO A GARAGE. CAR HAS OIL LEAK & I REPLACED THE OIL PAN ALONG WITH FAULTY ALTERNATOR WHICH KILLED BATTERY JUST 2 MONTHS AGO. BOUGHT CAR USED 2/1/20. HAS 110,000 MILES NOW. ENGINE HOT/SMELLS HOT BUT TEMP GAUGE DOESN'T REFLECT THAT. I WAS NEARLY KILLED ON FREEWAY BY PASSING TRACTOR TRAILERS & TRAFFIC HAVING TO SPEED BY ME RECKLESSLY WHEN IT HAPPENED TO AVOID COLLISION-NO WARNING. VERY DANGEROUS & SCARY. I SEE THERE ARE NEARLY 600 OTHER CASES EXACTLY LIKE THIS!!! SINGLE MOM WITH 2 KIDS IN CAR - VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT SOUNDS BY READING COMPLAINTS THAT IT'S THE TRANSFER CASE?
