Consumer Description

VAN WILL JERK OR JOLT WHEN IT'S SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS GOING 10- 50 MPH ON A FLAT STRAIGHT AWAY CITY ROAD. DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE ITS UNPREDICTABLE AND UNCONTROLLABLE. THE JOLT FEELS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. MY CAR IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW VAN WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES.
