Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS PARKED AND IDLING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON (HUSBAND WAS IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT, AND KIDS IN THE BACK AND IT WAS VERY HOT), I GOT INTO THE CAR, PUT IT IN TO REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT SURGED BACKWARDS GOING VERY FAST. IT ALMOST HIT A LADY BUT I WAS ABLE TO SLAM DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKES AND STOP IT. I THEN DROVE IT LIMPING ALONG BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T' SHIFT, TO THE NEAREST DEALER. THERE THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND SOME FLUIDS AND CHARGED ME 1000.00. IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE BUT NOW THAT I KNOW IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND CAN REOCCUR, I AM LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE TO REPLACE THIS ONE. *TR
