Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY USING MY CRUISE CONTROL AND THE MOTOR REVVED UP REALLY HIGH AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TOOK IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T GOING INTO TO ANY GEAR. I HAD TO START OFF IN LOW GEAR AND WHEN I GOT TO 15-20MPH PUT IN DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION JERKS SO HARD IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HAD HIT US FROM BEHIND IVE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND I FEEL THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. ALSO THE POWER STEERING HAS SHOWED 2 TIMES THERES SOMETHING FAILING ON IT TURNING AROUND IN A PARLING LOT AND ALL THE SUDDEN IMA NOT ABLE TO TURN ALMOST HIT 2 PEOPLE. IT WAS HORRIBLE.
