Driving down the highway route 9 in va and the car started stalling and the check engine light came on and the car died. When I went to restart it, when I pressed the gas it made a knocking sound. Had a mechanic look at it, and was told its the motor. Sheriff showed and because its only a 2 lane highway he had to push the car with his car to get it off the road and onto a side street because they couldnt wait for a tow truck. There was no place to pull off when it had started to act up.

While the vehicle is being driven, and during gradual acceleration, the vehicle hesitates and begins to shudder when it attempts to shift into the next gear. This shudder occurs at multiple speeds, usually around 31mph, 42mph and 53mph. The shuddering only seems to occur during gradual increases in speed, and is not noticed when accelerating at a more rapid pace, such as when entering onto a highway on-ramp. The shuddering fluctuates between mild to severe and is also noticed somewhat when the vehicle is downshifting to a lower gear as well. If the operator temporarily ceases in the acceleration, and then re-engages the acceleration, the vehicle seems to respond. This problem appears to be getting more frequent over the past two weeks, and the problem seemed to increase during a recent longer 3 hours trip. I have noticed numerous other similar complaints while researching this matter via the internet, and the problems seem to be frequently occurring at/after 6000 miles. I am concerned that this problem could result in an accident if I am attempting to merge with on-coming traffic and the vehicle fails to respond to acceleration and/or stalls out.
