I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A SLIGHT SHUDDER WHEN VEHICLE SPEED REACHED 35 MPH. NOT SURE CAUSE AT THE TIME SO HAD TIRES AND WHEELS CHECKED AND HAD MECHANIC TRY AND REPLICATE. NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WAS NOTED AND FREQUENCY AT FIRST WAS OCCASIONAL BUT BEGAN TO INCREASE IN FREQUENCY AND DURATION. PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE BUT ALWAYS BETWEEN 35-45 MPH AND DISAPPEARS AS SPEED INCREASES. I HAVE CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY UNUSUAL INCREASE IN PROBLEMS LIKE THIS AND WOULD HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT. ALSO INFORMED NO EXISTING RECALLS OR NOTICES WERE ON FILE. CONTACTED MY TRANSMISSION SERVICE REP. AND WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION WAS VERY LIKELY FAILING AND WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. HIS ESTIMATE TO REPLACE $4000-$4500 ! 55,000 MILES ON VEHICLE?????? *TR

ENGINE
WHILE SLOWLY BACKING OUT OF PARKING PLACE INTO THE STREET, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED OUT-OF-CONTROL TO VERY HIGH RATE. CAUGHT OFF GUARD, THE ENGINE RPM WAS NOT NOTED, BUT DRIVER QUICKLY DECIDED THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO TURN OFF IGNITION. THERE WAS NO MAT ON PEDAL, AND DRIVER DOES NOT OPERATE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WITH TWO FEET. ENGINE RE-STARTED AND FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. *TR
