Description of the problem | I bought this vehicle in 12/31/2017 as used from wally armour in salem ohio, it only had 11000 miles on it and smelled brand new still. The first incident i had noticed when i was driving the rpms/engine would rev really high and loud but the car was only going 55 and it seemed to be in the wrong gear but i was in the automatic drive position which should not cause this, i could understand if i was in standard stick shift and if i would down shift it would cause it to do that. Then i started noticing a hesitation in the take off of the vehicle so when i was at a stop light and turning left it waiting for oncoming traffic it will hesitate and god for bid there is a car coming and it is hesitating and then all of a sudden it will lurch forward and i get thrown forward then backward in my seat as if i was hit from behind by another vehicle but there was no one behind my vehicle and it will jar my neck causing pain, i had neck surgery in 2016 with a cage put in and a fusion of 2 cadaver bones, i am in no condition for my vehicle to be lurching forward as if it is getting hit from behind. This is not a one time incident either it is on going daily. I am hoping for a resolution to this problem i have taken it in once and plan on taking it in again to have them look at possibly doing something to it to fix it. |
