Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WILL INITIALLY HAVE THE SPEED ODOMETER DROP TO 0 MPH WHILE STILL MOVING. A "WRENCH" LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. ONCE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, THE DRIVER MUST PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN UNTIL THE TACH READS APPROX. 3000 RPMS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START MOVING AGAIN. WHEN IT IS MOVING IT SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND "BANG" THE GEARS. IF THE DRIVER, AFTER STOPPING, TAKES THE VEHICLE OUT OF DRIVE AND PUTS IN REVERSE, IT BANGS THE TRANSMISSION SO HARD IT FEELS IT GOING TO DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A NUMBER OF TIMES. THE IMAGE I ATTACHED I WAS GOING 55 MPH. *TR
