I was stopped at a red light and when it turned green and I proceeded to drive, my car started to hesitate and quit moving right in the middle of the road. I finally got it to the side of the road. When I attempted to reverse it hesitated again and the R symbol started flashing and the engine light came on. The engine codes are P1D97 Clutch A or D defective and P1DB8 Unintended Torque applied while in neutral. Now it's not even drivable.

At the time of purchase, the vehicle’s odometer displayed about 64,000 miles. The dealership paperwork and sales documents also listed the mileage as approximately 64,000 miles, and I relied on this information when purchasing the vehicle.
