| WHILE DRIVING ON I-85 SOUTH APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MPH IN MODERATELY HEAVY TRAFFIC, BETWEEN EXITS 27 AND 26, THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT DROPPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO MERGE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR CONTINUED DECELERATING AND THE WRENCH LIGHT APPEARED. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. WHEN STOPPED (AT THE RAMP FOR EXIT 26), THE CAR RATTLED AND IDLED VERY HARD AND WAS SHAKING. THE BATTERY LIGHT APPEARED, THEN THE OIL LAMP APPEARED AND THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I WAS TOWED AN HOUR LATER TO KEITH HAWTHORNE FORD IN BELMONT.
