| Description of the problem | Car cannot seem to determine which gear it should be in. When in stop and go traffic on freeway and pedal is not depressed, car lurches forward and a clunk is heard as the vehicle downshifts. Clunking sound is made worse in cold, humid, or cloudy weather. In the streets, when turning a corner and hitting the gas, there is a noticeable lag (about 2 seconds) until the car jerks forward and increases speed. If you want to pass someone you need to be very careful because the car can suddenly lurch forward and a higher speed than intended, or not accelerate at all. When car automatically brakes for you to avoid a collision, a loud rattling noise is heard and felt throughout cabin when depressing pedal, with most of the noise concentrated in the area under the hood of car. |
