Description of the problem | I purchased my car brand new in june 2014. In mid august 2014 on interstate 110. After coming to a complete stop my car shut off, as if it had stalled. I attempted to restart it and it jerked wildly and would not start. After a few more attempts it eventually started only to shut off again on interstate 105w. I was traveling approximately 70mph in lane 1 when the vehicle lost power and the panel instructed me to shift into park. The driver panel displayed ? Service transmission? And the check engine light was on. The service technician indicated that the computer needed to be ? Relearned? And provided documentation of several corrupted codes that were fixed. Two days later i experienced the same exact problem. They determined that i had an issue with my transmission valve body. After i got my car back i noticed that the transition between gears is very rough. Furthermore the gear shifting seems delayed, as the gears are often very inconsistent with the driving speed. Finally i notice that as i brake or lower my speed the gears do not adjusting accordingly. I have noticed that this is mostly a problem when i brake to a speed lower than about 25mph. In these instances, unless i come to a complete stop, the vehicle will not drop below 3rd gear. I reported this problem and received a entirely new transmission. Now, about 6,000 miles later i am experiencing the same shifting issues. |
