Consumer Description

WHILE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC CAR LUNGED WHILE ACCELERATING. WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP THEN LIFTED OFF BRAKE AND BEGAN TO FEED IN GAS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM FIRST TO SECOND (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) THE CAR LUNGED OR JUMPED FORWARD. THE ACTION WAS SO SEVERE MY FIRST ACTION AFTER HITTING BRAKES WAS TO CHECK REAR VIEW MIRROR THINKING I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. CAR HAS 19700 MILES AND WENT INTO OTTOS MINI FOR EVALUATION AND REPAIR OF OTHER ISSUES AND WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION IS IN NORMAL WORKING ORDER. HOWEVER MY SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME THAT SHE PERSONALLY HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES AND THAT ITS DUE TO TOO MUCH TECHNOLOGY IN THE CARS.
