Description of the problem | The 9 speed transmission is unreliable and dangerous. The transmission does not engage when starting from a stop. The engine revs and then several seconds later the transmission engages and lurches forward. The delay puts you at risk as you enter traffic. Additionally, the transmission will suddenly shift when you are coasting and accelerate 10-15 miles per hour faster. I have had the car into the dealership 5 times to repair this and nothing changes. Flashing the software does nothing. I have filed a lemon law claim with the state of ca and have an arbitration meeting scheduled in september. |
