ENGINE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. TRANSMISSION IS SLUGGISH WHEN I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE REVS UP TO OVER 5000RPM AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE.THEN FINALLY SHIFTS. WHEN DRIVING ALONG AT A STEADY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE. I CAN FEEL THE HESITATION UP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER IF I DO NOT HAVE MY HANDS HELD TIGHTLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL.. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS - WHEN STOPPED FOR A YIELD SIGN AND THEN TRY TO GET ON TO THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE REVS UP BUT GOES NOWHERE.
