When diving on the freeway I had an drive terrain malfunction error in my BMW 4281. My car stared to slow down extremely fast and I could not accelerate to get over to the far right lane safely. Everything seemed to be in some lock mode and I would press the gas and would only go less than 20 MPH. Almost got rear ended 3 times and sideswiped by a big rig trying to make it over into the far right emergency lane. My wife and I thought we were going to be killed or cause a major accident.
