A couple of months ago I first started noticing that the car has problems with acceleration. It is as if it doesn't want to switch gears. I'll be going about 25mph and the RPM is between 5 and 6. I'll let my foot off the gas, but it takes a long time for it to finally pick up speed. I'm very afraid to take it on the interstate after almost being crashed into on several occasions. Even on normal city roads I have problems with it, it doesn't matter the time of the day that this occurs, the problem is consistent. It will also either take a long time to accelerate or it will very quickly accelerate in RPMs, I'll go from a dead stop and press on the gas and the RPMs will shoot up to 5 and 6.
