Car randomly slips out of gear while driving. Will then try to accelerate after braking and truck slams into first gear rocketing you forward and disrupting driving pretty violently. Sometimes it is easy to get off the road and other times it is extremely dangerous. Generally once i turn off the engine and start it again it is ok for a while. But this is no way to drive and not safe with my kids riding with me.…
