| Description of the problem | Car lurches forward when coming out of turns, seems like it is getting caught downshifting from what must be 3rd gear down to second.. When it catches, the car takes off and accelerates forward quickly. Bought the car without a warranty at 79,000 and am shocked this hasn't been made into a recall yet for the extremely dangerous nature of the problem. |
