Description of the problem | When i first purchased my car, i was given a different car than the one written down on my paperwork. I had to come back in to get the car that matched my paperwork. Since receiving this car, i noticed a slight hesitation when accelerating. Recently, it has gotten worse to the point where it will jerk repeatedly when i have to constantly accelerate and then break when there is traffic. When i am just driving freely on the highway or side streets, it seems to get stuck in one gear and no matter how hard i push on the gas pedal, it will not go any faster. I have to press extremely hard on the gas to make it go and then it will jerk forward and make a really loud accelerating sound as if i'm a monster truck. This is very unsafe on the road and it makes me nervous to drive it. This car is my only vehicle so i can't afford not to drive it, but i really need something done with this. |
