Consumer Description

AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES, ACCELERATOR PRESSURE RESULTS ONLY IN ENGINE REVVING. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF CURRENT SPEED, WHEN TURNING AT ANY SPEED OR WHEN MOVING FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WHEN IT DOES FINALLY ENGAGE, IT WILL DO SO IN A BURST OF ACCELERATION. THESE CONDITIONS CREATE PROBLEMS IN WHICH ROUTINE TRAFFIC MANEUVERS BECOME UNSAFE.
