Car "brakes" after taking foot off gas
This is a really weired problem, after accelerating, and I take my foot off the gas, it seems like the car shifts out of gear (the car shakes a bunch of times) and "brakes" ---slows down abruptly (even though I do not hit the brake pedal), the harder I accelerate and then release the gas, the harder the car slows down. My brakes are squeaking, so could that just be a warning to get my brakes fixed or something? Or could it be comething more serious like a slipping transmission/gearbox?

wtf, I don't feel like shelling out $1000+ on a new F*ing tranny, I didn't have to get the recall installed as the thing was working perfectly, now that I decided to get the thing installed just to keep the car up to date, the damn thing is screwing up. The good ol' "Don't fix it if it ain't broke" saying fits here nicely.
