Description of the problem | Several recalls have been completed and we have received 2 different new transmissions; however, we continue to experience sloppy gear shifts and inconsistent sluggish acceleration. When acceleration is needed, the engine will sometimes rev up to 5000 rpms for 1 to 2 seconds before feeling a harsh slip into gear which causes the car to jerk. In close encounter situations this leaves a very uneasy feeling that you are unable to get out of danger in a reasonable amount of time. The action seems to occur most often when decelerating quickly and then accelerating quickly as if the vehicle is stuck in too high a gear for a second or two and then harshly down shifts as you have it floored because it isn't going anywhere. Dealers can't always reproduce in the brief test drives they conduct. Recently, they flashed the "quick learn" component and say it now appears to be driving as designed... But if this is the design, it seems very unsafe. |
