Default Help?? Car is bucking!

I just bought a new 04 C5 coupe MN6 , I am driving and the car starts bucking bad, lights come on check engine,traction control and reduced engine! Then it stalls and has a hard time turning over and stalls, then when it stats it will not go into gear??? Is this common?

Bucking? I've heard of Mustangs donig that.

What ever it is ... on a new car ... that's bad. I hope it's not serious or an omen of things to come. No codes on the DIC?

Yuck .... I hope it's not a bad PCM. But the good thing is, whatever is wrong should be covered under warranty.

Actually those are warnings, this is a link to show how to get codes Fault codes but since it's an 04 I would highly recommend calling the dealership as it's under warranty
