| Description of the problem | I started noticing a slight slip in the transmission when i first purchased the vehicle, i didn't think much of it because it was a new vehicle. Then i would notice shaking periodically on the freeway; thinking it was the road. Now, fast forward my car obviously has a bigger issue. I was on the freeway and my car began to spudder and jerk and felt like i was going to lose power. I immediately exited the freeway and took the streets worried it was going to fall apart on me. I drove a few miles and jumped back on the freeway thinking it would go away. Nope! Same thing happened and i was extremely frightened that i was going to get smashed from behind. The spudder feels as if you are going off roading. This occurred on the freeway when proceeding to accelerate after slowing in traffic. I thought for sure i was breaking down and my vehicle was staling. |
