| Description of the problem | I was driving down the road and with no warning or lights the rpm's just went nuts and then the car had no power when using gas, the car was still running but did not move, was stuck in the middle of traffic with children in the car. I was told these cars do this with no warning and this is just not fair and safe. So i was told to report this to you with these problems, now i have a big bill on my hands, what really upsets me is that i cou ld have wrecked, the warning lights should have atleast came on and some sort of noise in the tranny should have been there. But no nothing. I have not had it replaced yet but i still was told to tell you about this issue with my van. |
