Consumer Description

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THIS MORNING, I HEARD A HIGH-PITCHED GRINDING NOISE - SOMETHING I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE. DRIVING AT 30MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES ROUNDING A CORNER. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING UP SO I QUICKLY SHIFTED IT INTO NEUTRAL UNTIL IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THEN SHIFTED IT INTO DRIVE AND CONTINUED ON. *TR
