Your engine shut down twice while driving with your children inside—once on an uphill road and once in traffic—after warning lights appeared showing 'transmission error' and 'engine power reduced.' In both cases, you were unable to shift into Neutral, leaving you stuck and unable to move the car to safety. This issue could potentially be caused by a problem with your engine, transmission, or fuel system that's causing an automatic shutdown.

While merging on the highway at 65 mph, your gas pedal became stuck to the floor and wouldn't release. You had to keep constant pressure on the brakes to slow the vehicle, and every time you lifted your foot, the car would accelerate again. Even after bringing the car to a stop, the gas pedal remained stuck and the car wouldn't shift into Park until you turned off the engine completely. This could involve checking the gas pedal assembly, fuel system components, or engine control electronics for mechanical or electrical faults.
