Consumer Description

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SURGE WHEN THE CAR IS AT A STOP, CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD. LAST SUMMER I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK INTO IT AND THEY SAID IT IS JUST DUE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND THE WAY IT IS TUNED. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS JUST CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS TYPE OF ENGINE. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT NEEDED TO BE FIXED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE AIR IS RUNNING. MOST RECENTLY, MY CAR LUNGED INTO ANOTHER CAR IN LINE AT A RED LIGHT CAUSING REAR END DAMAGE. *TR
