Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS ONE DAY. THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY START LOSING SPEED AND GRADUALLY SLOWS DOWN TILL IT WON'T MOVE ANYMORE. OR SOMETIMES IT KEEPS GOING BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEING FORCED TO KEEP MOVING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD SAYS SERVICE TRANSMISSION OR SERVICE ENGINE WHICH I'VE DONE BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN SOON AFTER. FEELS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE THE CAR ON THE ROAD AND YET IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT LOOKED AT. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH A CODE AND THAT THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE GONE NOW BUT AS I MENTIONED IT RETURNED NOT LONG AFTER.
