I was driving my car and it was not getting any speed with the pedal floored. The car started making loud noises from engine and the etc light came on, check engine light came on which is the mil light, also the ESC light,I was driving and almost got hit because of it driving fine speed limit and then down to less than 5 MPH on a very busy street and intersection. There is a major issue as I had it in the shop a month ago for another malfunction. I was driving 55 MPH and suddenly it just lost all compression to less than 5 MPH. I was able to finally pull over to an area that had no shoulder so I was half in the road and turned the car off. Read the manual and said to cycle the engine several times to see if better. Ir wasn't better,and now trying to go into reverse, pedal to the ground it creeps 1 to 2 MPH.
