Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (EG 20MPH) AND THEN RE-APPLYING GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THERE IS A LARGE JUMP/KICK FROM WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE LOCK UP O F TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. ALSO THE POWERTRAIN DOESNT FEEL SMOOTH WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SOMETHING IS LOOSE OR NOT ROTATING ON THE CORRECT AXIS. I HAVE TAKEN CAR TO DEALER AND MECHANICS ABOUT 7 TIMES THIS YEAR ALL TO NO AVAIL. THE VIBRATIONS AND UNSMOOTHNESS AREN'T EXPERIENCED IN COMPETITOR CARS THAT I HAVE DRIVEN. THIS HAS OCCURED OVER THE COURSE OF 7 MONTHS.
