Description of the problem | Car updated on 5/20/15 with latest tsb 21-21-15a for transmission control module. Car now skips 2nd gear when downshifting (coasting). On rolling stops the car is stuck on 3rd gear causing lack of acceleration while traffic behind expects car to get moving (highway entry ramp). If gas is floored car finally reacts and skips to 1st causing wheelspin. Car has slid during wet conditions. With snow this can be lethal. Car did not skip 2nd gear before tsb. Dealer advised this behavior is the new standard. |
