Consumer Description

WITHIN TWO MINUTES OF STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING IT ON THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE WAS STALL MID-TRAFFIC AND BECOME INOPERABLE. THE BATTERY LIGHT THEN COMES ON WITH AN ERROR ON SCREEN WITH SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF, "CAR MUST BE IN PARK IN ORDER TO SHIFT." TURNING THE KEY DOES NOTHING UNTIL 3 MINUTES OF CAUSING A TRAFFIC HAZARD WHEN THE ENGINE FINALLY TURNS OVER. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION HAS ROUGH SHIFTS AT SLOW SPEEDS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD AS IF THE GAS WAS AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED DOWN. THIS JERKINESS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEED HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT PARKED VEHICLES WHEN TRYING TO PARK THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT AREA.
