In Houston&rsquo;s stop-and-go traffic, you&rsquo;ll notice these symptoms most during acceleration from lights or merging onto freeways.</p> </blockquote> <h2 id="what-to-do">What To Do</h2> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Check your symptoms immediately</strong>: Engine RPMs spike but car doesn&rsquo;t accelerate proportionally, transmission hesitates between gears, burning smell from under the hood, or grinding/whining noises during shifts.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Pull over safely</strong>: If symptoms are severe, get off I-45, 610, or whatever Houston freeway you&rsquo;re on. Find a parking lot or side street away from traffic.</p>
