Just about 3 weeks ago my car starting acting up. Now everytime I go to accelerate to 60 mph and beyond my car starts to shudder and strain. I feel like it is about to break down. I have had it checked and the mechanic was confused...he said it might be the drive shaft. The reason for that is because when he drove it in 4 wheel drive it did not make the sounds.
