Consumer Description

POWER TRAIN , I WAS DRIVING ON I-4 AND DRIVING WITH THE TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR JUST STARTS TO JERK AND CUTS OFF, NEEDLESS TO SAY I GOT OFF ON SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED CAR OFF. I WAS SCARED BECAUSE I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND I THOUGHT I WAS DEAD. I HAD TO SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BECAUSE I WAS SCARED TO THINK I COULD HAVE DIED TODAY. RESEARCHING IT REALLY ANGERS ME BECAUSE THIS COULD AND CAN BE PREVENTED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET A RECALL. AS FOR THE CAR IT STARTED BACK UP AND GOT ME HOME. I CANNOT SAY I AM SAFE IN MY OWN CAR. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP PLEASE CALL A RECALL BEFORE MYSELF OR ANYONE OF THE OTHERS GETS KILLED.
