Consumer Description

THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. SOMETIMES IT WILL HAVE DELAYED ACCELERATION OR NONE AT ALL. THE ENGINE WILL REV BUT NO MOTION. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR FOR A SMOG CHECK IN ATTEMPT TO CHANGE OWNERSHIP AND IT DIDN'T PASS SMOG A CODE P0776 CAME UP. TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. NOW I'M STUCK WITH THIS DANGEROUS DEATH TRAP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE TURNING AND WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENS PERIODICALLY WITH NO WARNING.
