Consumer Description

I WAS CASUAL DRIVING WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO NOT RESPOND TO THE AMOUNT OF ACCELERATION GIVEN. FIRST GEAR WAS ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM ENGAGING THEN THE REST OF THE GEARS BEGAN TO FOLLOW. I WAS ABOUT TO VISIT MY FAMILY FOR THE WEEKEND WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC MY CAR DIDN'T RESPOND AND CONTINUOUSLY REVVED IN HIGH RPMS. I WAS MOVING 30 ON A 65. I ONLY HAVE ROUGHLY 30000 MILES AND HAD BOUGHT THIS NEW 4 YEARS AGO, ALMOST TO DATE. I'VE DRIVEN MANUAL ALL LIFE AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAN BE A POTENTIAL DANGER AS TRACTOR TRAILERS AND BIGGER CARS COULD EASILY HAVE CRUSHED ME AS I MERGED BUT LUCKILY I HAD DRIVEN ONTO THE SHOULDER. *TR
