Car wont go after pressing on the gas pedal!!! Help
I was driving on the freeway and everything seem fine until i got in trafiic and i had to slow down, then i felt a slight jump in the engine but didnt pay much attention, until i got off the freeway and had to stop at the light, when i got the green light i press the gas pedal and it took a while for the car to move and get momentum. I parked turn it off and started driving again, aftef a while the same thing happened, got to a stop sign and again push on the gas pedal and the car was forcing to move for a while. I stop again and puT it on park then drive then reverse then drive just to see if i would feel something weird and when i would take it from reverse to drive i felt a hard jump in the engine. Any ideas what could the problem be. I have a warranty still, would my warranty cover that problem?

Does the car feel like it's stuck in a gear and when you put the gas it just slowly builds revs to the redline?
I had that happen to my SL65 and it turned out to be the conductor plate for the transmission.
Only had a car with weird jumps/rough idles, weird movement in reserve was on my Jag and that was transmission related too, but required a rebuild

It have had something similar happen to me twice. The car goes into limp/safe mode. The intercooler pump fails which takes the supercharger off line. FIX - replace pump. The other time this happened the detent switch in the accelerator pedal failed. This too caused the car to go into limp/safe mode. FIX - replace accelerator pedal. I hope this helps. Good luck.
