| Description of the problem | When driving at speed and constant acceleration the car will jerk and the rpms appear to bounce up and down. Last weekend when merging onto the highway the car did not accelerate normally. The rpms spiked, but there was limited acceleration/response. This happened several times before and their seems to be no way to predict when this will happen. |
