Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL. STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO REV UP QUITE HIGH WHILE STILL STAYING IN NEUTRAL UNTIL, SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION WILL KICK INTO GEAR AND "BURN RUBBER" CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD IN AN "UNCONTROLLED" WAY AT HIGH SPEED. *NLM
