Consumer Description

WHEN I NEED TO DRIVE FROM A SLOW SPEED TO A HIGH SPEED LIKE WHEN ENTERING A FREEWAY THE RPM'S START GOING CRAZY. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS THE CAR BARELY MOVES AND THE RPM'S GO WAY UP AND DON'T STOP UNTIL I PULL OVER. I HAD A CAR BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THIS VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR HAVING A BAD TRANSMISSION. TURNS OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 08-09'S AND MINE IS A 2010 THAT RECALL WAS #14404 SPECIAL COVERAGE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAVE PLATE. I AM SURE THAT THIS ONE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD SOMEONE COULD GET HURT REALLY BAD.
