Consumer Description

THE CAR REVS TO 3 RPM'S ON START. EVENTUALLY, IT MAY KICK DOWN. AS YOU START OFF, REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE CAR "CHUGS" AND HAS JUMPED BACK 3 FT WHILE I WAS BACKING UP. IT MAY STALL AT STOP SIGN/RED LIGHT. IT "CHUGS" AT EACH SLOW DOWN AND START. VERY DANGEROUS. IT IS NECESSARY AND VERY DANGEROUS AND UNNATURAL, BUT LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND RIGHT ON THE GAS IS MANDATORY. ALSO VERY DANGEROUS. PARKING LOTS ARE HAZARDOUS, AS IS MY PARKING AT HOME. THE CAR "CHUGS" COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN AND IF ONE IS NOT COMPLETELY AWARE AND PREPARED WILL JUMP 3 FEET AND HIT WHAT EVER IS NEAR.
