Description of the problem | I'm on my 3rd transmission and it is going out! Dangerous, because vehicle slips at crucial moments needed for acceleration. Please issue a recall for this product! It will cause lives (if it hasn't already). Wife won't drive because she's too frightened by it's inconsistent acceleration. What if it slipped while near railroad tracks? What if it slipped/disengaged while entering freeway? Very dangerous. *ak |
