I was driving down the road and all of a sudden it was like the transmission shifted down to a lower gear, the engine reved up and then within a few mins stalled out. With no warning also all the warning lights were lit up. When I tried to restart the car it just clicked after jump start because of trying to start it ...restarted but still was "stuck" in the low gear and stalled out again. I then called a tow truck and had it towed home. I looked up recalls for the year of the model and found the recall #h33- TCM/PCM was recalled on 712 models by VIN it says mine isn't one of those but by description it did exactly as the recall describes. I was on a very busy interstate road during 4th of july traffic and almost caused an accident trying to pull off the road as my car suddenly slowed down and then stalled

K stopped at an auto parts store to have them check it, and it would not start all the lights on the dash were on the fritz and reset.
