Consumer Description

TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY IF HAD ISSUES WHERE THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND A FEW TIMES IT'S SEEM TO LOSE POWER AND THAN COMPENSATE AND COMPLETELY LAUNCH LEADING TO A QUICK JERKING MOTION. I'M AFRAID THAT IT COULD COMPLETELY STOP ON THE HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATE INTO SOMETHING. OTHER THAN THAT THERE'S NO ISSUES BUT THIS IS CONCERNING SINCE I'M ALWAYS GIVING FAMILY MEMBER RIDES INCLUDING A PREGNANT WIFE SO IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO IN MY OPINION IT COULD BE A HUGE DISASTER IF IT HAPPENS TO AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. *ALSO I'M NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE OF WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT KNOWN SINCE THAT'S ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED.
