| Vehicle stabilitrack and traction control lights came on. engine warning light came on. while attempting to turn the vehicle onto a highway acceleration ramp, the car steering wheel locked and the engine died. could not unlock the power steering. i was towing a horse trailer well within the gross weight for the vehicle. i had a horse in the trailer at the time. i also had children in the car. after a few minutes, i was able to start the vehicle and pull into a safer area. i was not able to tow the trailer home but i was able to get the vehicle home. the car hesitated and chugged along surging into each gear. while at a stop the vehicle hesitated and the engine sputtered. i had to put the truck in neutral and put my foot on the accelerator so the car engine would not die. the transmission would surge each time i stepped on the gas. limited turning radius on the vehicle and i was not able to make a sharp turn without a grinding noise. | |||
| POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | |||

| Automatic transmission does a clunk sound (as if it was shifting to a gear) in drive while at a complete stop. when stopping at a stop sign or a stop light, approximately 15 seconds after the complete stop, the transmission clunks into what sounds as if it is shifting into a gear (probably first gear). this had begun infrequently, but is now occurring more often, at least once a week now. i had the dealer look at it while still under warranty, but they stated no codes were showing up on the computer. what they ended up doing is greasing the ends of the drive shaft, stating that was the problem. however, this issue continues. it could be a computer program problem. *tr | |||
