Q: Car hopping at stops and stalling
My Vue had been shifting hard after its been driven and warms up for quite a while. Now sometimes when you get on the brakes or come to a stop it like hops almost like it wants to stall and has a couple times now even stalled. There's also a loud rattling coming from the belt side of the motor. Idk if it's a bad tranny a bad fuel pump or what. What could it be? Should I take it to a transmission specialist or just a mechanic?
