April 2012 CrashInjury

While driving out of a driveway onto a highway, my vehicle went limp and I had to pull over. As I was putting it into park, it gave out a loud noise. I waited for a few minutes and turned the ignition back on and proceeded to drive off and the car stalled again. I turned the car off and now afraid to drive it. I'm having it towed to my house where it will stay parked until I can have it looked at. Hopefully, I won't have to trade it in.
