Description of the problem | While slowing down, with my foot on the brake, as the car approached 20 mph, the rpm suddenly increased and the car accelerated. My foot was not on the accelerator. I tested this multiple times and it occurred every time!! Also, the car has shifted roughly since the day we took it home. It is getting worse. I had to approach traffic lights more carefully to assure i was far enough behind other drivers so if the car lurched (it does), i would not hit the car in front. I am not certain, but it felt like the car was also doing this at about 70 mph. I did not have a chance to test this much. I took the car to the dealership and they said the transmission must be replaced!!! The car is 7 mos old. They said the transmission is not immediately available, so they do not know when i will get my car back!! Omgosh! I want a new car! When i get this back, i will likely trade it. |
