NHTSA Complaint #10112423 — 2000 DODGE CARAVAN

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AT TIMES MY VAN (AUTOMATIC 4-CYLINDER 2000 CARAVAN), IT WILL CONTINUOUSLY SHIFT, MAKING THE VAN FELL LIKE ITS PULLING AND GIVING/JERKY (**SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS**). THE VAN WILL SHAKE(VIBRATE). THE GAS PEDAL EVEN VIBRATES. THE VAN SOUNDS LOUD(FRONT AREA OF CAR), MY SON SAYS IT SOUNDS LIKE A RACE CAR.HE GETS SCARED. THE WHEELS SEEMS TO BE HUGGING/GRIPPING THE GROUND( ANOTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT, IT FEELS AS IF GRAVITY WAS PULLING THE CAR DOWNWARD). THE VAN SEEMS TO LOSE POWER, AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL MAKES THE RUMBLING NOISE (ENGINE?) LOUDER.*AK
