Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING MY WIFE AND 4 SMALL CHILDREN TO DECATUR,AL FROM HUNTSVILLE,AL TO THE RIVERWALK AND OUT OF NOWHERE STARTED FEELING A SMALL SHAKE AND THEN VERY NOTICEABLE FRIGHTENING FULL VEHICLE SHAKING WHICH STARTLED MY FAMILY AND FRIGHTENED MYSELF,I REALLY THOUGHT WE WERE ABOUT TO HAVE A WRECK. LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND IT STARTED TO NOT BE SO VIOLENT IN THE SHAKING,AND THEN ACCELERATED SLIGHTLY AGAIN AND THERE IT WAS AGAIN,AND I BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION. I AM NOT A MECHANIC BUT UPON DOING SOME RECENT RESEARCH I SEE THAT IT IS EITHER FAILED REAR OR MOTOR MOUNTS OR EVEN THE TRANNY WHAT EVER THAT MEANS. BUT IF IT IS A FAILED DEFECT THEN THEY SHOULD ADDRESS THIS BECAUSE THIS IS DISTURBING AND UNSAFE TO ME,AND MY FAMILY NEVER MADE IT TO THE RIVERWALK. WHY DO WE PAY SO MUCH FOR A VEHICLE AND THEN CAN NOT GET ANY HELP OTHER THAN FUNDS WE HARDLY HAVE? *TR
