Consumer Description

I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A STORE PARKING LOT WHEN MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY DOWNSHIFTS VIOLENTLY CAUSING MY CAR TO HESITATE BEFORE IT EVER TOOK OFF, LEAVING ME SETTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH A CAR HEADED RIGHT TOWARDS MINE, LUCKY FOR ME THE CAR WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO SWERVE TO AVOID PLOWING INTO MY CAR AND THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SETTING AT! NOW MY CAR JERKS EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING RANDOMLY DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY GIVEN TIME. TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC, TRANSMISSION IS SHOT, NEEDS REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY, TOO BAD I AM A STUDENT AND SINGLE MOM WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY TO GET THIS REPLACED. ONLY GOOD THING THAT I CAN SAY ABOUT MY ALMOST ACCIDENT WAS THAT NO ONE WAS HURT, THIS TIME. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE CAR ANYWHERE ELSE. COUNT MY BLESSINGS SINCE I DID MAKE IT HOME, NOT WITHOUT DRIVING 25 MPH IN SLOW LANE OF INTERSTATE WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON! *TR
