Consumer Description

HAD FULLY LOADED CX5 TOURING 4 MONTHS. SUDDENLY TODAY, WHEN I PRESS ON ACCELERATOR, CAR WOULD JERK AS IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FORWARD. AFTER I MADE IT TO WORK, LEFT WORK EARLY TO GO TO DEALERSHIP. CAR WOULD START AND GO INTO REVERSE, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD IN DRIVE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I AM REALLY NERVOUS THAT THEY FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE A 90 MILE COMMUTE (ROUND TRIP) ON A FAST MOVING TOLL ROAD, AND CANNOT TAKE THE CHANCE OF BREAKING DOWN WHEN I AM IN ROUTE.
