Consumer Description

AT STARTUP WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE INTO FORWARD OR REVERSE GEARS THE ENGINE RACES AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES IN REVERSE OR FORWARD DEPENDING WHICH GEAR IT IS IN. SINCE I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WHILE PUTTING IT INTO GEAR I HAVEN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE HAD VERY LITTLE POWER. AFTER I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF , SAT AWHILE AND TURNED THE ENGINE ON THE SERVICE LIGHT DID NO COME ON UNTIL THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS ,SO, CONSEQUENTLY, I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
