POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WHEN I GOT TO A STOP SIGN AND WAS GETTING READY TO TURN RIGHT, THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND FELT AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL FOR A SECOND. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, ONLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR BEGAN TO REV AND JERK AROUND, AND ALL THE WHILE, I WAS SLOWING DOWN ON THE BUSY STREET. I TOOK IT TO AAMCO AND THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE IF I WANTED THE CAR TO WORK PROPERLY AGAIN. I WAS A BIT FRUSTRATED AT THE FACT THAT THE MODEL OF THE CAR IS A '95 AND IS IN NEED OF A NEW TRANSMISSION, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK
