I GOT IN THE CAR AT 2 P.M. AFTER DRIVING 1/4 MILE IT WOULD NOT TAKE OFF FROM THE STOP SIGN IT STALLED AND LUNGED FORWARD DUE TO LOSS OF CONNECTION WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED FROM D TO 4 AND IT BEGAN TO SHAKE IN THE FRONT OF THE BUMPER. I PULLED OVER, PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ON AND MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON, AND OPENED THE HOOD. IT STOPPED SHAKING AND I REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT, WHICH IS ATTACHED WITH CLIPS AND WITH MY HAND, I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. IT HAD NO REV IN THE ENGINE, AS I WOULD EXPECT. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND SHIFTED TO R AND THEN WITH THE BRAKE OFF, I SHIFTED TO 4. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING AND VSC LIGHT AS WELL. I CAN TELL YOU FOR CERTAIN...
