Consumer Description

I AM EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT STALLING CONDITION. WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THEN YOU WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHT MY CAR WOULD MOVE 10 FEET AND THEN STALL OUT. IT WOULD ALSO STALL WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN APPLYING THE BRAKE AND WHEN YOU WOULD TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN THE CAR WOULD STALL. THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL COME ON AND THERE WOULD BE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED SLUGGISHNESS WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE. I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND A FEW SECOND LATER YOU CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSON JUMP INTO GEAR.
