Description of the problem | When attempting to pull out into traffic from a stop, the car suddenly lost power. Pressing the accelerator was just causing the engine to rev. Then the car shifted into gear and suddenly lurched forward. It then dropped out of gear and lost power again. Car continued to shift randomly, drop out of gear, and suddenly shift into gear and accelerate creating a very dangerous situation. It would not shift correctly after that until i took it to a dealership and they updated the transmission control module software. Service advisor at the dealership said this was a common problem and would likely happen again. |
