Description of the problem | I just purchased this vehicle in february of 2019. Since then the vehicle transmission shifts very hard when switching into gears. I drove this car while having my children in the car when the car very violently switched in and out of gears. It was very scary! As i continue to drive to impatient yo get off the nearest exit i noticed the car's speed starting decline even when foot is on the throttle. I pulled over immediately. I was so afraid to drive this vehicle i had the car towed 100 miles closer to home. |
