Description of the problem | The transmission in this car has serious problems which render the car unpredictable and unsafe. On leaving from a signal after a full stop there is no response after stepping on the accelerator - the car does not move and then suddenly lurches forward. This happens frequently but not always. Also, leaving from a full stop, sometimes the vehicle takes right off and then bogs down completely which is very hazardous when in oncoming traffic or turning a corner. In addition stepping on the accelerator while on the road to pass a car there is often no response from the transmission and then suddenly the transmission takes hold. Again, frequent but not all the time. On putting the car into reverse the rear end and transmission have a load banging clunk and then take hold with a lurch. On a downslope there is no slowing of the vehicle via the transmission and the brakes have to constantly be applied. Between 20 |
