Description of the problem	2012 chevrolet cruze lt1 rs package, automatic transmission on june 27 i was in murray, ky driving home from murray state university. I was in heavy traffic. After the light changed i gave the accelerator a light tap to move the car forward. It started slowly but after a few seconds, it seems that the car stalled. The transmission downshifted and when i gave the accelerator a tap, nothing. At this time, i was certain i would be in an accident. Again, i gave the accelerator a tap (mind you, i didn't mash the petal to the floor board, i gave it enough of a tap to switch the gear). The car did nothing, and again my concern was that i would be rear ended soon. Another tip (again, i did not mash the pedal to the floor), and finally the turbo charger kicked in and the car switched gears. But when the car shifted gears, it was an explosion of force that jerked and lurched the car forward including my self. I was glad to get moving since traffic was heavy. Since this incident, it has happened 5 times that the car has been sluggish to respond, and it have continued to shift gears with random jerks and often explosive force that jerks both car and passenger. I have had this to 2 dealerships, and they say they cannot reproduce it, and they both tell me that this is a normal thing, and that this transmission will make erratic gear changes. I am concerned for my safety with i drive this car, and hope i am not stranded in traffic when the transmission fails to shift properly.
