Consumer Description

WHEN I START THE VEHICLE IT REVS HIGH AND WHEN I TAKE OFF IT JUMPS/HESITATES. AS I AM DRIVING, THE WARNING BELL WILL "DING" A WARNING AND THE ENGINE JUST CUTS OFF. MESSAGE ON DASH TELLS ME I AM UNABLE TO SHIFT AND MUST PUT CAR IN PARK TO SHIFT. I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND AT A COMPLETE STOP. ALSO AS I MAKE A TURN AT A STOP LIGHT, THE WARNING "DING" WILL HAPPEN AND NO MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED ON DASH. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR IS "IN MOTION"! NOT STOPPED!
