Consumer Description

VEHICLE LOSES POWER TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING OUT, AND THEN SURGES FORWARD, SPINNING THE BACK TIRES. THIS HAPPENED ON A HILL, AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME! THE RPM'S REV WAY UP AND THE ENGINE WON'T SHIFT. THE CAR SHUDDERS AND JERKS AND WON'T GET GOING UPON TAKE OFF. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT AN INTERSECTION/STOP LIGHT, AND I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO BE REAR ENDED. THE CAR WILL NOT GET GOING WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO.
