Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE IN SEPTEMBER 2014. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT, WHEN DRIVING ANY WHERE, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO DRIVE, THE CAR SOUNDS LIKE IT REARS UP TO LOUD. I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, THEN PRESS GENTLY AND DRIVE SLOW, INORDER FOR THE CAR TO NOT MAKE THAT SOUND. MY CAR IS NOT A STRAIGHT DRIVE, IT IS AUTOMATIC, THEREFORE IT SHOULD NOT BE MAKING THAT SOUND AS IF IT'S IN THE WRONG GEAR. IS THIS GOING TO BE A VERY BAD PROBLEM DOWN THE ROAD? *TR
