Consumer Description

THE CAR SPUTTERS AND RATTLES WHEN LETTING THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WHEN IT IS AT A STAND STILL. IT FEELS AS IF IT IS TRYING TO START IN 2ND GEAR. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE. I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WOULDN'T GO PAST 15 MPH. I TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE SPEED PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED. IT STILL SPUTTERS. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ROUGH.
