Ever since my husband and I bought the van it when you put it in a gear and step on the gas it would rev the engine and hit hard in gear and causing the van to jerk hard we took it to a mechanic where we were told and he said it was the drive shaft and replaced it and it should not jerk no more but it seems to be worse than it was when they fixed it.
I have a 2001 pontiac montana that is exhibiting the exact symptoms described in recall #07v349000. Pontiac claims that my specific vehicle is not covered under this recall notice. I believe it should be.
