Description of the problem | The first issue was with the car accelerating without pressing the gas. Rpms would increase and car would sound as if it was accelerating as well, when slowing driving through a parking garage. The car also down shifts and accelerates roughly. It is not smooth when transitioning to acceleration or de acceleration. When braking the car jerks until stopped enough to where our heads jerk. Putting car into gear, to drive from reverse, it lags until it kicks in and jerks hard. When shifting into reverse with the foot firmly on the brake, the vehicle begins to roll backward with my foot still on the brake. When you try to press the brake pedal to get car to stop moving, brake pedal does not depress all the way and does not stop the vehicle from moving. If you attempt to pump the brakes, there is a hard stop that prevents the brake pedal from going all the way to the floor. The only way to stop the vehicle is to put it back into park. |
