Computer is sending false codes. Car won't accelerate from a stop then eventually starts moving very slowly. Unhooking the battery then hooking it back up does a hard reset on the computer which makes the car work properly for a day or so then it does it again. Was told by mechanic the computer doesn't know what gear the car is in.

The oil tends to form a long "tail" up the dipstick making it impossible to discern where the actual level is. Attempting to obtain a reading with multiple attempts yields…

Stopped at a red light with foot on the brakes. Out of nowhere the car accelerated forward extremely fast. Forced to hit an car in front of me within a car or two, distance wise.
