Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM AN OFF RAMP, THE POWER IN MY CAR FAILED. THE RPM'S WERE VERY HIGH, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER. AFTER PRESSING AND RELEASING THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES, THE POWER PICKED UP AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. ON JANUARY 3, WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE 30 MPH TO WORK, THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS ON ITS OWN. NO MATTER HOW I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR SPED UP AND SLOWED DOWN ON IT'S OWN. IT WAS VERY SCARY HAVING THE CAR SPEED UP ON IT'S OWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 15 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 2007, NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HAVING THE CAR SPEED BE OUT OF CONTROL IS AN UNDOUBTED SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
