Consumer Description

WAS CHANGING LANES AND WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE THEN IN AN INSTANT WENT EXTREMELY FAST. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR WAS REVVED SO HIGH AND GOING SO FAST THAT I JUST SKIDDED INTO TRAFFIC. BEFORE THE INCIDENT WE NOTICED IT WOULD DO IT BUT THE LAG WASN'T SO BAD... WASN'T UNTIL WE DROVE IT ON THE FREEWAY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THAT IT REALLY BECAME A PROBLEM. VERY SCARY TO HAVE A CAR FULL OF KIDS AND NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE ACCELERATION. *TR
