My transmission went out totally.

My power steering went out totally.
My door bell is always sounding off.
My seats do not recline properly.
My window whippers do not run well.
My car doors are hard to open.
My engine runs rough even with a tune up.
I had to put in a new starter twice.
I had to repair my horn.
The seat belts failed.
The panel lights all lit up at once while driving.
The car at 70 miles per hour locked up like it was in park and threw me and my son into the window. Then went on as if it never happened.
My car needed several repairs that are too many to list.
It would be nice to have a working car.
A car that I can actually depend on.
My car when it does work is very peppy.
It spends more time in the car repair shop than on the road.
I do feel very strongly that the car maker should send out warnings on the instant parking then going that it did to me to cause a full blown Whiplash. Yes I had to go to the emergency room as did my son.
My '92 Dodge Spirit did a similar "locking up" thing a few times. It actually had to do with the distance sensor. The sensor was providing erratic speeds to the computer and my speedometer was bouncing around like crazy. When the needle instantly shot up to 220 km/h at one point the computer controlled automatic transmission didn't know what to do with the sudden speed change and decided to shut itself down... and then abruptly back on when the needle went back to 100.
Scary and painful to experience. I disconnected the distance sensor after that and drove without a speedometer for a year.
In my opinion, the North American auto manufacturers can't build a decent FWD automatic transmission. Always go for a manual or buy a RWD.
