| Transmission failing. clutch engages late and suddenly: engine revs as gas is applied but clutch doesn't engage, then clutch engages suddenly, causing car to jerk forward hard. this is dangerous--can't pull out into traffic, because i don't know if car will actually go when i step on the gas, and car coasts as transmission tries (but fails) to shift between e.g. 1st and 2nd. please require a recall on this--many people have reported the same problem in auto newsgroups on the internet. this is clearly a manufacturing defect, and a potentially serious safety problem as well.*ak | |||
