Consumer Description

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS TURNED ON SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BUT USUALLY GOES AWAY. WHILE HITTING MY BRAKES ON THE FREEWAY TO EXIT, MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNED ON TODAY. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 AND SLOWING WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO SLAM FORWARD IN MY CHAIR AND ALMOST CAUSING THE PERSON BEHIND ME TO HIT ME. ONCE I STOPPED AT THE LIGHT AND HIT THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, IT AGAIN JERKED. I PARKED MY CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR JOLTS. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS EACH TIME I SWITCH FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND FROM BRAKING TO DRIVING. *TR
