WHILE DRIVING AND CHANGING GEARS FROM FIRST TO SECOND, AT OR AROUND 10 - 20 RPM MY ENGINE BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND JERKED SPORADICALLY. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT CHANGED INTO 3RD GEAR AND THEN BEGAN TO DRIVE AS NORMAL. THE CAR DOES THIS REPEATEDLY NOW UNTIL I FEEL IT HAS BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE JERKING IS RANDOM SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN TO EXPECT IT AND WHAT TO DO WHEN IT HAPPENS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO VEER OFF THE ROAD OCCASIONALLY. *TR
