Description of the problem | Transmission shifted to neutral, sounding like going to "low gear", and slowing fast. Pressing the gas pedal did not help and after a while went into gear again by itself with a bang. Really bad situation if driving on a highway. I took the car to the dealer on 19nov14, they said that it never failed for them. Since then, the car failed 6 times, the last one today. There were times that the only solution was to stop on shoulder and shut the engine off. I took the car to the dealer on 06feb15, they did a software flash for pcm (flash software 1), updated car computer. On 04mar15 the transmission failed again with the same problem. This time happen again on a highway, luckily, no car was close behind. It could be dangerous if this happens at faster speed in a busy highway. |
