Consumer Description

WHEN I AM AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT MY VEHICLE IF I DON'T HAVE THE BRAKE ON SECURELY I WILL ROLL A BIT BACKWARDS UNTIL I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. AS WELL AS WHEN I START TO GO AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER OUT WHILE I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDDLE FOR THE FIST TIME SINCE STOPPING. THEN THE ENGINE WILL CATCH ITSELF AS I LET OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND THEN RE-ATTACH MY FOOT TO THE GAS PEDDLE. THERE IS A SPUTTER GRUMBLE NOISE THAT HAPPENS AT THIS TIME AND A JERKING MOVEMENT YOU FEEL AS THE ENGINE CATCHES ITSELF. LIKE THE TRANNY IS TOO LOW OR SOMETHING.
