Consumer Description

ENTERED HIGHWAY AND MERGED INTO TRAFFIC. BEGAN SPEEDING UP TO AROUND 55 MPH AND TRANSMISSION HESITATED AND JERKED, CAUSING ME TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 45 MPH. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL BEING PUSHED AND WAS STUCK IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. I COASTED TO THE NEXT EXIT WHERE I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND DROVE TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP. THE TRASMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AT A NEARBY AUTOZONE TO SEE IF SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM BUT AFTER STOPPED AND RESTARTING CAR, IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT WENT OUT. 63,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE...I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN, ALL UNDER 5 YRS OLD WITH ME...DEFINITELY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *LN
