Consumer Description
I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD WHEN SWITCHING INTO GEARS. I DROVE THIS CAR WHILE HAVING MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN THE CAR VERY VIOLENTLY SWITCHED IN AND OUT OF GEARS. IT WAS VERY SCARY! AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE TO IMPATIENT YO GET OFF THE NEAREST EXIT I NOTICED THE CAR'S SPEED STARTING DECLINE EVEN WHEN FOOT IS ON THE THROTTLE. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. I WAS SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I HAD THE CAR TOWED 100 MILES CLOSER TO HOME.
