Description of the problem | The vehicle powertrain / 9 speed transmission shifts very aggressively and unexpectedly accelerates going forward. This results in a "peel out" and is very unsafe. When pulling out of intersection the vehicle does not want to go forward, almost as though it's in neutral, then shifts aggressive and lurches forward. This has happened multiple time! Merging on to highways, turning on to busy roads, or simply pulling out from an intersection into traffic does not have proper response (or none at all) in acceleration. This could result in a deadly collision. As much as i love the vehicle, i do not feel safe driving this vehicle. This also happens when accelerating to pass. This has happened multiple times while driving. There are many complaints on this transmission being unsafe. When i took the newly purchased vehicle to the dealership for check up and oil change, i mentioned it to them but there was no fix. Something needs to be done to fix issue. Please tell me this serious problem with this year/make/model is being addressed! Thank you in advance for your response and action. |
