Description of the problem | When pulling forward out of a gas station, i hit the accelerator, the car started shuttering and jumping, then reed up to 3,000 rpm after i took my foot off the gas, i was only trying to go forward about 20 feet. It then kept going without any input from me as the driver. I had to hit the brake all the way down to stop it and prevent the car from going into another vehicle. The car then shifted really hard and almost lurked my passenger into the dashboard. This transmission is not safe and this was not the first time it has happened. |
