Description of the problem | At low speeds, typically taking off from a red light, the transmission wobbles (seemingly in second or third gear.) the transmission lags horribly, sometimes causing unsafe situations where acceleration is a necessity. You can't predict the acceleration in this veichle. There is an rpm spike when downshifting causing the car to accelerate up to 15 kmh (even on cruise control) the transmission "clunked" as it was downshifting going uphill accelerating. Experiencing rough idle upon 1st start, and if in drive or reverse, if your foot is not firmly planted on the brake, the car will lunge forward (or backward depending on if in d or r.) respectively with the rpm. With this many complaints, you can't ignore this is an issue which needs to be dealt with. |
