Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A SERVICE ROAD AND WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO START JERKING. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN OVER ME AS I WAS LOOSING SPEED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP SPEED AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THIS INCIDENT ALSO CAUSED MY BRAKING AND STEERING TO BE ERRATIC. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES ON DEC 9, 2014. THIS IS UNSAFE AS IT NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 35 OUT OF AUSTIN. BY MY ESTIMATION THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO FEWER THAN 5 TO 6 VEHICLES INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT HAD I NOT MANAGED TO PULL OVER. *TR
