Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR FREEWAY I BEGAN TO HEAR MY CVT TRANSMISSION MAKING A LOUD WINDING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A TURBINE ENGINE REVVING UP AND THEN MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG, THE VEHICLE WENT FROM 65MPH TO 15MPH DURING EXTREMELY HEAVY HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC AND THEN I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHICH BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE CONSTANTLY DOES A BUNNY HOP IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN SURGE OF ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND IS NOW BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
