Description of the problem | From a stop, you push gas with no respose, then you reach a point where it finally takes off, this has caused other drivers to brake when making a turn into their lanes. While driving, and attempting to pass, you push on the gas, no response until you reach the point where it takes off. Sometimes i have to return to my lane because traffic has reached me causing unsafe condition, and causing others in that lane to brake to avoide hitting me. While highway driving, the tranny rumbles and is sluggish to accerlerate, seems to be 7th gear, you keep pushing pedal down until you are finally shifted into passing gear. When putting in park, a second goes by and you hear a loud clunk. Dealer reports these issues to be normal for the 9 speed tranny, we did software update. No change! Sometimes when you take your foot off the gas, the car accerates on its own .... Almost like it down shifted and the gear ratio made it take off. This has caused me to almost rear end others. Kbb has many similar complaints. Noticed all of these issue after owning the vehicle for 3 months, about 4k miles on the vehicle. |
