Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE BACK ROADS AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO JERK VIOLENTLY. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON SO I LET OFF THE GAS AND HIT THE BRAKES A LITTLE. I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP SAFELY, BUT THE JERKING WAS DANGEROUS AS IT PROPELLED ME INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS ON A CURVE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR NOW. THE CAR SHOWS NO CODES AND NO WARNING SIGNALS. I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I AM NOT SURE. I READ MANY OTHERS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND I THINK THIS IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN PEOPLE THINK AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED IF ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR
