Q: I have a 2002 Madza Millennia and it been jerking really hard and it keeps cutting off
My car jerks really hard while I'm driving and it sometimes happens right after I get gas and will even cut off at a stoplight. Also at night when I'm at a stop light I notice my headlight dim a little then brighten. 3 weeks ago It cut off in the middle of me going up a slight hill and wouldn't crank back up,about 4-5 days ago I went to the car and noticed none of the interior lights were on so the battery is dead now.
My car has 173000 miles.
My car's transmission is unknown to me.
