Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN MY CITY AND WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT NOT TOO FAR FROM MY HOUSE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN TO TURN, AND AS I WAS MID TURN, MY CAR SORT OF STALLED. IT KEPT LURCHING AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS IT WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND REVVED UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT WHEN IT REVVED UP. BY THE TIME THE LIGHT TURNED RED, I WAS STILL MOVING, BUT VERY SLOWLY AND FELT LIKE IT WAS KIND OF COASTING IN AN ABRUPT WAY. LUCKILY I WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO MY PLACE AND COULD GO SLOWLY. WHEN I WENT TO PARK, I TRIED BACKING UP AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE, IT JUST ROLLED FORWARD. I HAD TO REPARK, BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET MY CAR TO BACK UP. I CAME IN AND TOLD MY HUSBAND, AND HE THINKS IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION.
