Consumer Description

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, THE TRANS JERKS & FLUTTERS, WHICH IS QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. I WOULD LIKE THIS CHECKED INTO & SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT, AS I LOVE MY CAR, BUT THAT IS A DANGER NOT ONLY ME & MY FAMILY BUT OTHERS AS WELL. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD CLANGING NOISE IN THE REAR, LIKE SHOCKS. I DO NOT LIVE OR GO DOWN BUMPY DIRT ROADS OR MESSED UP ROADS WITH POT HOLES. BUT FOR MY CAR TO BE THIS NEW, IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BAD SHOCKS ALREADY. AS THIS IS CONCERN OF MINE & BY READING OTHERS AS WELL.
