Consumer Description

WHEN TURNING MY CAR ON AND PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR JERKED INTO GEAR AND WHERE THE R SHOULD APPEAR FOR REVERSE ON THE DASH, ALL THE LETTERS WERE SCRAMBLED TOGETHER. THE CAR DROVE IN REVERSE AND THEN WHEN I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, IT JERKED AGAIN AND THEN WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A COUPLE MINUTES, TURNING IT OFF, AND TURNING IT BACK ON, IT WOULD FINALLY ACCELERATE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STILL BE ON AND THE GEARS WOULD STILL JERK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF AFTER A COUPLE DAYS AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE AND THEN IT WOULD ALL START AGAIN. THEN MY CAR IS STARTING TO SWITCH OVER INTO NEUTRAL WHEN DRIVING 60MPH+ AND NOW IT WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. WHEN IT SWITCHES OVER TO NEUTRAL LIKE THIS WHILE I'M DRIVING, THE D FOR DRIVE ON THE DASH WILL BECOME SCRAMBLED LIKE IT DOES WHEN IT JERKS INTO REVERSE. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. *KB
