Description of the problem | When driving in stop and go traffic, and through city and residential areas, the transmission seems to struggle finding the correct gear. The transmission hesitates and does not shift as smoothly as it should, and sometimes shifts hard upon reacceleration, or sudden braking. The transmission also struggles to find the correct gear while highway driving (70-75 mph) with constant grade changes, and hills. (interstate 5 from los angeles to bakersfield ca. ) when starting the vehicle and placing it in reverse to back up, the transmission shutters slightly before engaging properly. This usually happens on a slight grade, as my street and driveway moderately sloped. I took the truck at the dealer for and unrelated issue, and ask them to check it. They said it was "normal". I have read about similar complaints on several forums, and its seems to be a very common complaint. This transmission seems to be junk! The time frame for this complaint is from 2/1/2019 (22,000 miles) to present. Others have complained with as little as 4,000 miles. |
