Consumer Description

WHEN ON ANY GRADE OF INCLINE THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO ROLL BACKWARDS UNLESS GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED QUICKLY AND QUITE HARD. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN ME HITTING A CAR BEHIND ME WHILE WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT ON AN INCLINE WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE OR THE ROLL BACK OCCURS. ALSO ATTEMPTING TO PARK AT MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL WHERE THE PARKING SPOTS HAVE TO BE PULLED UP INTO, THE CAR ROLLS BACK RATHER QUICKLY AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT IT HAS SOME PROBLEMS ADVANCING IT'S GEARS IF THE ENGINE IS UNDER STRAIN. I'M VERY WORRIED THAT MY CAR ROLLING BACK WILL RESULT IN ACCIDENT.
