Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO SPEED UP WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. IT WILL THEN SUDDENLY REV UP AND TAKE OFF OR THE WHEELS WILL SPIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN A DAY AND THEN BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS. IT WORKS FINE IF SHIFTED MANUALLY. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS AND NOT KNOWING IF THERE WILL BE ANY POWER TO ACCELERATE. THE SUDDEN JERK IS HARD TO DEAL WITH IN THE WISCONSIN SLIPPERY WEATHER CONDITIONS. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
