Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Just got gas and started car and the tachometer started to rev up and down. i needed to leave as i was in a gas station and it was very crowded. i had to immediately pull into a parking spot. after waiting a few minutes, i left the spot and attempted to drive down the street. the car wouldn't shift into any gear except first and i was almost run off the road by several very angry drivers since i couldn't go any faster. i pulled over again and waited 15 minutes. in arizona when it's 115 out, that is not too much fun. after waiting, the car must have reset itself and it started up fine. this was the fourth time this week that this has happened to me but this was by far the worst. *nm
