When driving on a back road going about 35-40 mph, all of a sudden the rpms spiked way up and the car started shaking. As I pressed the gas pedal the car would barely move but the rpms would go extremely high. Every time I had a stop light and tried accelerating once the light turned green the car would barely move and rpms would just keep reving up real high. I was afraid I was going to get hit or rear ended. Huge safety concerns.

Driving @60 w/cruse on going down a hill engine RPM's suddenly jump from 2000 to anywhere from 3000 to 5000 RPM's and the only way to stop engine racing is to tap the brakes to disengage cruse. Also vehicle will not speed up when turning a corner, like the transmission doesn't down shift.these both happen all the time.vehicle has less than 800 miles.
