Only when I first start the car I let it warm up. And then I go to take off the car feels like it's holding back i press the gas. And the car like wants to go big something is holding it back. I accelerate the gas pedal the car moves slowly. And when I let my foot off the gas it stops by itself. Like if I pushed the brakes but I don't push the brakes.

Good morning,

Do you apply the parking brake when you are out of the car? It could be a frozen cable.

If this is the issue, it will reverse easier. Can you try backing up and see if it is easier?
