For about a week the car had some shifting issues. Where it seemed delayed in shifting up to the next gear. This was on the list to be looked at next service, due within the month. Then last night while out with some friends first it wouldn't accelerate above 50 km/h. When I dropped off some of the friends I turned off the car and came back to it about 2 hours later and drove off, and got up to 60 km/h in city. Then after hitting the first stop sign it wouldn't go over thirty, came to a crawling stop and would do nothing. Turned it off and started it again - got about 500m before this happened again. Ended up getting it towed to my place - but now not sure if this is common, or if it is expensive to fix. The transmission fluid was changed at last service - done roughly every 6-7000 km - where the car is mainly used for highway driving.
