Description of the problem | 7 speed duel clutch transmission is failing again after recall has been performed. Vehicle has started to go into neutral when pulling out into traffic leaving you in the middle of the road without being able to move for a short time. While driving the vehicle will now also lose power and shift into low gear on its own causing sudden deceleration. Vehicle will also chug forward when stopped at a red light. This is after all of the recalls and reprogramming of the vehicle has been done. We have now had three times that we have almost been hit, where other cars have had to slam on their brakes to avoid a bad accident and three other time i almost got rear ended because my vehicle started to go from after the traffic light would change and then stop moving. These vehicles with this transmission is a death trap and somebody is going to get killed! These problems are not consistent but they are real and dangerous! We are afraid to drive our new vehicle! It has been to the dealer 5 times for the transmission issues. |
