Description of the problem | Car cannot accelerate or decelerate properly. The car has had three clutches and two transmission control modules, and still exhibits the same dangerous characteristics. It hesitates on take off, will accelerate in the wrong direction (go forward in reverse and vice versa) . The rpms will randomly shoot up to 4 or 5k while driving, or you can loose speed without warning. I have had the power to the car fail while driving with no warning on a city street. It is especially bad on hills and at stop signs/lights. It shakes and shudders at low speeds. Has been to dealer almost a dozen times, all under "warranty" for a flawed transmission design. |
