Consumer Description

WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY DURING RUSH HOUR FROM FULL STOP AT ON RAMP DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND AT AROUND 20 OR SO MPH THE CAR LOSS POWER AND THE RPM QUICKLY INCREASED AS IF YOU WERE PRESSING THE CLUTCH IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE, THIS IS A AUTOMATIC VEHICLE SO THE ISSUE WAS DEFINITELY CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE DRIVEN TRAIN OR ELECTRICAL SENSORS CONTROLLING THE DRIVE TRAIN. SINCE THAT TIME THIS FRIGHTENING ISSUE HAS BEEN INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. A BASIC INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT MY CASE IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR
