Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM AROUND 10-20 MPH. THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN WE SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND ARE NOT COMING TO A FULL STOP. SO WHEN WE BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AFTER THE TURN, THE VAN LOSES ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM AND FEELS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND THEN SUDDENLY LUNGES FORWARD THROWING OUR HEADS BACK INTO THE HEADREST PRETTY HARD. WE'VE BEEN EXTREMELY CLOSE TO BEING REAR ENDED TWICE THE PAST MONTH. THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ROUGHLY 25 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VAN IN OCT. 2019.
