Description of the problem | I took my son to school on thursday morning 12/8/2016. I was at a stop sign to pull out onto a main highway. There was a line of cars coming but they were far enough away i thought i could go. I started to go but changed my mind and let off the accelerator. I decided to go ahead and go but this time the engine revved way up and the car pulled out onto the highway very slowly. Now in a panic, i let off the accelerator again and immediately pushed it down again. Thankfully, the car lurched forward and took off. There was then a strange smell in the car which i believe to be from the clutches slipping. |
