When on the freeway, once vehicle has reached 50-70 mph, the rpms jump up and down. Super dangerous as i am then unable to maintain control of vehicle and have to cut through traffic to a shoulder. Also on take off and stopping at red lights, car shudders and feels like it is going to stall. I know there is a class action lawsuit out there as many drivers are having this issue but i should not have to pay $5 in…
