Consumer Description

WHEN I START MY CAR I MAINLY COME FROM A RESIDENT AREA OR A PARKING LOT WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 10-15MPH ONCE I HIT THE MAIN STREET WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MPH MY CAR WONT ACCELERATE TO THE PROPER SPEED EVEN THOUGH MY GAUGES ARE SHOWING THE SPEED IM SUPPOSED TO BE AT AFTER 8 SECONDS THE CAR SHOOTS OFF TO 35MPH AND WHEN I BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN IT ROLLS AGAIN AT 5-10MPH. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY IN CONGESTED AREAS AND TRYING TO PULL OVER IN AN EMERGENCY IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN MY CAR GETS STUCK IN A SLOW SPEED. IT IS NOW SO CONSTANT ITS EVERY DAY THE ONLY WAY TO BYPASS IT I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF THE CAR LOCK AND UNLOCK 2-3 TIMES AND IT WILL START UP NORMALLY
