Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: (1) started as intermittent problem when engine was cold and car was stationary - stepping on accelerator resulted in no motion followed by car lurching/jerking into first gear; the problem became more repeatable over a three year time period; just prior to failure, the car would shake and make noise when accelerating from a stop and when coming to a stop; at failure, the car would not move (forward or in reverse) (2) complete failure of automatic transmission - surprising because auto only had 22,300 miles on it when the transmission failed (3) replaced transmission
