Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING APPRX 70MPH MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STARTING FLUTTERING. I HAD TO TRY TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT!! I COULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 20 MPH. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CODE THEY READ WAS PO846. MY CAR ONLY HAS 105K MILES!!! I HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FROM MANY PEOPLE. I ALSO READ THE MANUFACTURER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT ONLY UNTIL 2010!!! WHY???? THESE CARS ARE HAZARDOUS TO BE ON THE ROAD AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A LAWSUIT FILED!! THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH WAS DONE ON 8/25/17
