Matrix

  • 148,000 miles
Transmission: My 2011 Toyota matrix jerks and accelerates suddenly with a revving noise and making choking sounds like gears shifting in a manual transmission car. This happens each time I slow down to make a turn (left or right) or merge into the freeway, when I slow down at a traffic light and tries to take off as the light turns green, and when I slow down and try changing lane to pass another vehicle. I have had to press hard on the breaks to avoid hitting another vehicle in front of me. This has been going on since I started driving the car after taking over from my daughter one and a half years ago. Thanks you.
