Consumer Description

HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MAJOR JERKING AND STUTTERING WHEN CAR CHANGE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. REALLY HAVE TO PRESS ON GAS FOR IT TO ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS FOR WHEN TRYING TO MERGE LANES ON FREEWAY. IT HAS SHUT OFF TWICE ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND WOULD NOT RESTART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT JUST TURNED ON AT 89,000 MILES. EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING IT DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS. THERE WERE OCCASIONS WHERE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND CARS WERE CLOSE TO CRASHING INTO ME.
