Description of the problem | Transmission will intermittently shift erratic. Starting out from a stop it will have a difficult time starting to move with the accelerator pressed, then 1 or 2 seconds later it will down sift to first gear causing the vehicle to lurch forward in an uncontrolled manner. I have ended up in the wrong lane because of this. Also at intersections it causes confusion when trying to go in turn with other vehicles because they think your yielding when the vehicle won't move but then it lurches abruptly into a new collision. |
