I was driving about 50 mph when my car started slowing. No matter how hard i pushed the gas pedal it wouldn't drive over 30 mph. It then started smoking, so i pulled to the side of the road and called a tow truck. The repair shop said i had a cracked engine block and that the oil probably leaked completely out in a matter of minutes. *tr

Suddenly i felt a forward thrust & immediately depressed the brake harder & looked in my rearview mirror as it felt like a car was pushing mine, there was no car behind me. I could hear the engine…

When going up a hill with the cruise control set, the rpms will increase in order to climb the hill whilst maintaining the same speed. Once the peak of the hill is reached, though, the rpms will not return to the normal range (between 2000 and 3000). This will continue indefinitely unless i slow down below 40 mph, or shift from d to s and then back to d. While i have included oct 5th, 2007 as the incident date, that…

I have felt for some time that as i am rolling to a stop at 10-15mph and apply the brakes that there is an increase in the rpms from 600 to 1000 or slightly more. The sudden revving is enough that i have sensed that the car could actually continue to move forward when i intend for it to stop and perhaps cause an accident. Related to this, i had one instance when i was pulling into a parking space that i had to apply…
