The complaints were that i was driving in a 70 mile zone and the car accelerated to 90 miles the car shifted out of d drive to 3d on it's own while driving and also rough engine while accelerating higher than the speed limit, and while braking,isaw very little stoppage. Also same day near my home,i stopped at a stop sign,when taking off the car jerks forward to 22 miles.
