Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Rabbit issues: 4 months in. to give you an idea...with 300000 lms on the car i was stuck in inner city traffic just after i pulled out of my street where i lived. it was a warm day in january, and i had let the car warm up , but when i was in traffic it decided to stall. i had to wait a few seconds to get the motor to turn back over. the car had been shaking more then it would normally a few moments before. then, the other day, i started the car, cleaned the snow off, and then drove off. getting out of my street had to cross a really busy street to make the turn, when i went to hit the gas to get into a free spot on the road the car revved really high, but the car didn't respond. the car drove like i was only wanting it to go 10 mph , but i had hit the pedal to get it to go way faster given the busy street. the revvs were there like the car was in neutral or something, but it didn't respond. i immediately checked the automatic gear box to see if i had accidentally bumped the sifter into neutral ,but i hadn't it. i almost got killed. very strange. i whipped the sweat off of my forehead and kept driving slowly and it was okay. i even tried the gas pedal again to see if it would not respond, but it did almost like there was no fuel coming through, but that didn't make sense because the revvs were there. i will have it checked out next time i go to my dealer.*ak
