Consumer Description

(FORWARD CLUTCH PISTON AND SEAL) WHEN YOU BRAKE TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT OR EVEN COME TO A STOP AND THEN STEP ON THE GAS, ALL THE VEHICLE DOES IS REV. IT'S LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN GEAR OR SLIPPING AND THEN IT EVENTUALLY DROPS INTO PLACE. IT'S A PRETTY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IF TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I FEEL THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON A RECALL BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ALL YOU ARE DOING IS BRAKING OR SLOWING DOWN. PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND WOULD HATE FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE A CHILD BECAUSE OF A WRECK THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY ISSUING A RECALL. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THIS SITE TO LIST PROBLEMS.( DOT NUMBER: APM3JEUU02 TIRE SIZE: 215/70R15 )
