Consumer Description

SOMETIME WHILE ACCELERATING THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY GO FROM 2K RPM TO OVER 6K RPM BUT YOU CANT HERE THE ENGINE AND IT LOSES POWER AND STARTS TO JERK VIOLENTLY. ONCE YOU RELEASE GAS AND THE RPM'S GO BACK DOWN TO 2K THEN YOU CAN TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. I THOUGHT THIS ISSUE WAS JUST BECAUSE IT WAS COLD THE 1ST TIME IT HAPPENED BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR LITTLE UNDER A YEAR AND IT HAS LESS THEN 20K MILES ON IT.
