Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, TRAFFIC BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO CONGESTION. AS I SLOWED DOWN, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY. I WAS NEARLY HIT FROM BEHIND. THE CAR JERKED TWO MORE TIMES AS I MADE MY WAY OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I PRAYED THEN STARTED MY CAR AGAIN. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM HOME. AS I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED ONTO MY LOCAL STREET, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. AS I SLOWED DOWN, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER A WHILE, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME. I PARKED THE CAR, CHECKED MY OIL (LEVELS WERE GOOD) AND STARTED TO CALL AROUND FOR HELP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR
