Consumer Description

I WAS GOING DOWN HE INTERSTATE WITH MY 3 KIDS WHEN MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE RPM'S WOULD GO UP WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE. I HAD TO MERGE OVER 3 LANES OF INTERSTATE TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND LUCKILY GOT TO STOP BEFORE WE WENT OVER A BRIDGE! I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND THEY JUST CALLED TO TELL ME IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THEY JUST REPLACED ONE A FEW WEEKS AGO. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR
