Description of the problem | When turning a corner and attempting to accelerate the care shuddered and made loud noises. It progressed to shuddering every time i accelerated... Climbing small grade, changing speed zones etc. This is an automatic car. I had it into shop where they cleaned clutches and the problem persisted and now there was shuddering when i attempted to back down a small drive way incline. The car continues to shudder and make noise. The service department tells me the car needs to learn my driving style.... Bs. This is embarrassing and frustrating not to mention that i feel very unsafe driving a car with transmission problems. I was told to drive it more, but i refuse to drive a brand new car with these issues. *js |
