When filling gas tank it seems to have air in the tank. Sometimes after filling the car won't start for a couple minutes and when it does, it sputters like it will cut off, but after you get it running it's okay. Also, you can never get the same full tank distance, it will vary each fill up with the same fuel economy with each fill up.

I was probably going 2 to 3 mph. A person could have outwalked the car. Suddenly the car seemed to have a mind of its own and lurched forward. I pressed down harder on the brake, but it didn't stop.

My car had been vibrating pretty bad for a while, but i live on a dirt road and know that mud can cause this, so i chalked it up to that and was getting the under carriage washed and noticing that this did not help. 2 days ago i was driving on a city street and the orange "wrench" light appeared with the words "see manual." i ran a vehicle health report as i was driving and couldn't read my manual at that moment.…
