Consumer Description

VEHICLE EXPERIENCING BAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN 3RD AND 5TH GEARS. AS ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHIFT, BUT BEGINS TO IDLE AND RPM'S RISE EXTREMELY HIGH. VEHICLE BEGINS TO SLOW DOWN AND FINALLY JERKS INTO THE NEXT GEAR CAUSING RAPID ACCELERATION. THIS ISSUE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO RUN INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AFTER PULLING OFF FROM A STOPLIGHT. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT WITH THIS BEING MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I MUST WORK, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE DAILY. WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED 5 MONTHS AGO IN MARCH AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM (MARCH 24, 2013, 5 YEAR/100,000 MI. POWERTRAIN). VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED MARCH 24, 2008. *TR
