Consumer Description

WHENEVER GOING FROM ONE LOW GEAR UP TO ANOTHER, IF YOU ARE NOT DRIVING IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT IT BEGINS TO SHAKE AND GRIND GEARS. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING ON ANY ROAD AND DOES HAPPEN IF YOU ARE TURNING. AFTER PURCHASING THIS CAR, INITIALLY IT WAS NOT AS BAD. BUT THE MORE IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN, THE WORSE THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN. I KNOW THIS IS NOT ONLY MY CAR ACTING THIS WAY BECAUSE I KNOW A FRIEND WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WERE THE ONES WHO TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT LIKE A STOLE IT.
