| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | If i do not fill the auto with a premium blend gasoline the car will inconsistently over rev and jerk into gear if i accelerate somewhat suddenly. This response is quite odd and could cause an accident since the car kicks into gear rather hard after accelerating and then letting off the gas. The sensation is the same as experiencing a light but loud rear end collision from behind. The car is luxurious and big therefore, you wouldn't expect this type jolting from the drive train. |
