Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THEN IT WON'T SHIFT AT ALL. THE ONLY WAY IT FIXES IS IF YOU PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS PERIODICALLY. NOW IT WON'T SHIFT AT ALL SO I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY TO DRIVE SLOW OTHERWISE A BURNING SELL AND SMOKE COMES FROM THE ENGINE. HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS IF YOU LOOK ONLINE. OBVIOUS FLAW WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS. SHOULD BE A RECALL- VERY EXPENSIVE FOR CONSUMER TO FIX.
