Description of the problem | The transmission hesitates while trying to find the correct gear.. I spoke to a maintenance rep at the dealership where i bought my truck and he said that the engineers made the truck that way for fuel efficiency. He also told me to just floor the accelerator to get power when i need it. It still hesitates even when i floor it and how does that help fuel efficiency? He said if a technical service bulletin comes out on this issue that i can bring in my truck and they will fix the issue. I am scared to pass a vehicle unless absolutely nothing is coming for fear of the time it takes for the truck to find the correct gear. It also kind of jerks when it does find the right gear. This has been going on since i purchased it in january of 2016. |
